'''Klomps'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> are the main [[Kremling]] grunts employed by [[Kaptain K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew]] during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. These soldiers are spread throughout [[Crocodile Isle]], the home island of the Kremling race and are part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] defeat many Klomps during their attempt to save the kidnapped [[Donkey Kong]] from Kaptain K. Rool.  Like many other members of the Kremling Krew during this time, Klomps donned pirate regalia (specifically sailor pants and a peg leg) like their leader Kaptain K. Rool (the pirate alias of King K. Rool).
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Klomps are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. A Klomp's only behavior involves it marching forward in a single direction and hurting [[Diddy Kong]] or [[Dixie Kong]] upon contact. Klomps tend to patrol a small area individually, though many of them appear in groups. Klomps are very weak, as they can be defeated by any attack, including simple [[jump]]ing, [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] and [[Helicopter Spin|spin]] attacks. Klomps appear in several [[level]]s, and some even appear underwater, such as in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], where they can be defeated by [[Enguarde]] only. In the Cast of Characters, a Klomp is classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]."


Klomps are very weak, as they can be defeated by any attack, including simple [[jump]]ing and [[cartwheel|rolling]] attacks.  These pirate soldiers can only attack by marching into a [[Kong]], hurting the ape on impact.  Klomps tend to patrol a small area individually or in small groups, although in either case they are not much of a threat to Diddy and Dixie.
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
 
Klomps are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.
Klomps have the same role as [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. In fact, Klomps look almost exactly like Kritters, the notable difference being the former's pirate appearance. Additionally, Klomps appear to be heavily scarred. Other differences, for example, they only have green skin, while Kritters come in many different colors. Also, Klomps cannot jump like some Kritters can.  [[Kaboing]]s instead possess this ability (although Kaboings themselves appear to simply be Klomps with two peg legs, instead of just one).
 
Klomps are in turn replaced by [[Kobble]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. The most recent appearance of Klomps has been in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''.

Klomp, Donkey Kong Country: Rescue on Crocodile Isle

Klomps[1] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. These Kremlings are the pirate counterparts of Kritters from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land,[2] though unlike Kritters, Klomps are less hunched and appear in green only. In their artwork, Klomps appear to be heavily scarred, though they do not have this trait in-game. Similar enemies named Kobbles would go on to appear in both Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.
