'''Kutlasses''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] appearing in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' only. They are small [[Kremling]]s wield two large {{wp|cutlass}} swords roughly the size of their body. Kutlasses have either a yellow or a green body, the latter of which has quicker movements. They wear a black vest and a pirate hat which has the Kremling Krew insignia and red feathers on the side. Artwork shows that Kutlasses have three toes on each foot. They are said to have ordered their swords from an infomercial, which looked smaller on television.<ref name=manual>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1995|page=31|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Kutlasses are named after cutlass swords, but with a 'k' in place of a 'c'. If a Kutlass notices [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]], it runs toward them and tries to slash them with its swords. If the Kutlass misses the Kongs, its swords get stuck in the ground, but it pulls its swords free and lifts them back up after a few seconds (green Kutlasses generally take less time to get their swords unstuck). Kutlasses always hold up their swords except when they attack. The Kongs take damage if they are slashed by Kutlass's swords or try to jump on Kutlass while its swords are up. A Kutlass is vulnerable to a jump attack if its swords are on the ground. A Kutlass can be defeated either from an object being thrown at it (such as a [[barrel]] or a [[Cannonball|kannonball]]), from a [[team up]] throw, or an attack from an [[Animal Friend]], such as [[Squitter]]'s web projectiles. In the cast roll, a Kutlass appears as part of the [[Kremling Kuthroats]]. Kutlasses have a variant named [[Klank]], which ride [[Roller Coaster]]s in the amusement park levels.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]], Kutlasses and Klanks use a higher pitched edit of voice clips used by [[Kosha]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
