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. Similary enemies named Kobbles would go on to appear in both Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.

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 jumping, cartwheel and spin attacks. Klomps appear in several levels, and some even appear underwater, such as in 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."

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.
