Skeleton Kremlings,[1] also called Bones,[2] are skeletal Kritter enemies in Donkey Kong 64. Skeleton Kremlings appear in Fungi Forest (in the nighttime), Creepy Castle, and in two of the later Battle Arena Pad stages of DK Isles and Creepy Castle. Unlike Kritters, Skeleton Kremlings attack by swinging their bone club at the player character, but take one to three hits to defeat; this is based on the strength of the Kongs' direct attacks, with weaker attacks merely removing the Skeleton Kremlings' head and left arm, while stronger attacks can defeat them without removing their body parts. Upon being defeated, Skeleton Kremlings lose balance and collapse on the ground. A Skeleton Kremling is instantly defeated from an orange, costing the Skeleton Kremling its head and left arm in the process, or from a musical instrument move.

Profiles[edit]

  • Prima guide: Even without a head, these guys keep swinging, so keep your distance after hitting this toe. Punch-and-run is good tactic against these sword-bearing skeletons.[2]
