'''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.

In official artwork and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Kudgel is wearing red shorts identical to Klubba's.


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]].
