| '''Kudgel''' is a large, gray and muscular [[Kremling]] and the boss of the third world, [[Krem Quay]], in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. He carries around a large, spiked wooden club as his weapon. Kudgel's name is derived from "cudgel", a word which either refers to a weapon or the action of "beating with a club." Kudgel strongly resembles [[Klubba]], though the relation between the two Kremlings is unknown. Unlike Klubba, Kudgel has gray skin instead of green, and is wearing yellow shorts. In official artwork and the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kudgel wears the same red shorts as Klubba. | | '''Kudgel''' (Japanese: グラッバ) is a large, over-muscular, club wielding [[Kremling]] and a boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. His name is derived from "cudgel", meaning "club" or "to beat with a club". |

| In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Kudgel is fought in the boss level, [[Kudgel's Kontest]]. He attacks [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by jumping up then trying to land on them. When landing, Kudgel creates a brief earthquake, temporarily stunning the [[Kong]]s if they are on the ground. After jumping up then landing a few times, Kudgel stomps and a [[TNT Barrel]] falls on the arena. Kudgel can be hurt from Diddy or Dixie throwing throwing the TNT Barrel at him. However, Kudgel can block the TNT Barrel using his club if it is either thrown too close to him or when he jumps away. Kudgel moves around faster after each hit. After three hits, Kudgel begins to jump in an arc. After doing so, he stomps the ground again, causing a TNT Barrel to appear. Kudgel jumps in an arc more quickly after each hit. After being hit by a sixth TNT Barrel, Kudgel blasts away into the swamp waters, defeated. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Kudgel is classified as part of the [[Barnacled Bosses]].
| | Kudgel is the boss of the third area of [[Crocodile Isle]], Krem Quay. Kudgel is fought in the level '''Kudgel's Kontest'''. Kudgel attacks [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by leaping up through the air and trying to smash down on them. The [[Kong]]s must carefully dodge Kudgels leaps and leap whenever Kudgel lands as he will send out a shockwave that can stun the Kongs, leaving him open to attack. |

| Kudgel is ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''{{'}}s only boss absent from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', because [[Kleever]] was chosen as the boss of the merged world, [[Krem Cauldron]]. | | After a few jumps, Kudgel will land and swing his club. This will cause a [[TNT Barrel]] to land that the Kongs can throw at Kudgel. The TNT Barrel must be thrown at Kudgel quickly or Kudgel will jump away. Everytime Kudgel is hit with a TNT Barrel, he will jump progressively lower and faster. After being hit with several TNT Barrels, Kudgel will be blasted into the nearby swampy water of [[Krem Quay]] where he apparently perished. |

| ==Profiles==
| | Kudgel is the only boss from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' who does not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', likely due to system limitations. |
| *'''Player's Guide:''' ''A recent recruit to the Kremling ranks, Kudgel is a mover and a shaker, using his muscle-bound bulk and his clawed club to get his points across. As guardian of Krem Quay, Kudgel must make sure any unwanted monkey are deep-sixed permanently.<ref>{{cite|date=1995|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide|page=16|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>

| ==Trivia== | | ==Trivia== |
| *Kudgel's scream is a slowed down, lower-pitched version of [[Klobber]]'s scream. In the Game Boy Advance version, his sound effect is recycled from [[Chunky Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. | | * Kudgel's SNES sprites show him wearing yellow pants instead of the red ones depicted in his official art. This was corrected in the GBA remake. |
| | * The sprite also makes Kudgel look like he's made of rock (due to his gray coloring) |
