Krooks are enemies in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. These Kremlings wear large red, button-up trench coats, and possess hooks 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 levels, 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 jumped 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.
