Template:Articleabout Template:Character-infobox Kudgel is a large, over-muscular, club wielding Kremling and a boss in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. His name is derived from "cudgel", meaning "club" or "to beat with a club".

Kudgel is the boss of the third area of Crocodile Isle, Krem Quay. Kudgel is fought in the level Kudgel's Kontest. Kudgel attacks Diddy and Dixie Kong by leaping up through the air and trying to smash down on them. The Kongs must carefully dodge Kudgels leaps and leap whenever Kudgel lands as he will send out a shockwave that can stun the Kongs, leaving him open to attack.

After a few jumps, Kudgel will land and swing his club. This will cause a TNT Barrel to land that the Kongs can throw at Kudgel. The TNT Barrel must be thrown at Kudgel quickly or Kudgel will jump away. Everytime Kudgel is hit with a TNT Barrel, he will jump progressively lower and faster. After being hit with several TNT Barrels, Kudgel will be blasted into the nearby swampy water of Krem Quay where he apparently perished.

Kudgel is the only boss from Donkey Kong Country 2 who does not reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2, likely due to system limitations.
