| {{distinguish|Crook}}
| | '''Krooks''' are [[Kremling]]s encountered in several levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Krooks wear large red, button-up trench coats and possess hooks for hands. Krooks attack by hurling their dangerous appendages at any nearby monkeys. If the hooks miss, they will boomerang back. Krooks can be defeated with a simple jump on the head or be hitting them with any kind of projectile, they are usually found in caves and castles, but will occasionally appear in other levels. Krooks look like a normal [[Kritter]], but they are more scaly, possess bigger feet and have rounder eyes without cats-eye slits like Kritters have. They also have a minor resemblance to [[Kobble]]s, another type of Kremling. |

| '''Krooks''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. These [[Kremling]]s wear large red, button-up trench coats, and possess [[hook]]s for hands. Krook's name is a pun on the word "crook", as well as a portmanteau of "[[Kremling]]" or "[[Kritter]]" and "hook"; this naming convention may also stem from "by hook or crook", an expression meaning "by any means necessary." Krooks resemble a normal Kritter, but they are more scaly, have bigger feet, and rounder eyes without the cats-eye slits that Kritters have. Krooks appear in several [[level]]s, and they attack by throwing a hook at [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. If the hook does not hit a [[Kong]], it will boomerang back to the Krook that threw it. Krooks can be defeated from either being [[jump]]ed on or from having a projectile thrown at it, such as a [[barrel]] or a [[crate]]. Most Krooks usually remain in one spot, though there are a few that move in a set path. Krooks usually appear in cave-themed and castle-themed levels. Additionally, in the ending's cast roll, a Krook is classified as part of the [[Kremling Kuthroats]]. | |
