K. Rool is one of the main characters and the main antagonist in the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], where his name is typically pronounced "Kuh-Rool"; "Kay-Rool" is only said once. In the show, his personality is relatively the same as in the games. He is bossy, loud, megalomaniacal, flamboyant, dramatic, and slightly clumsy; despite this, however, he is not without a soft side, as seen in episodes such as "[[Baby Kong Blues]]" and "[[Four Weddings and a Coconut]]". | K.

In King K. Rool's most common appearance, he wears a red cape and a gold crown, but he is fond of adopting many other looks and costumes as well. When he takes on the alias of Kaptain K. Rool, he trades in the cape for a brown trench coat and the crown for a pirate hat. When he becomes Baron K. Roolenstein, he wears a white lab coat and a tall prosthetic forehead with a small black wig resembling {{wp|Frankenstein's monster}}, and has a Propellerpack on his back. His outfit is based on a combination of Frankenstein's Monster as portrayed by {{wp|Boris Karloff}} in the {{wp|Universal Pictures|Universal}} horror movie ''Frankenstein'' and the character of Baron Victor von Frankenstein (played by {{wp|Peter Cushing}}) from the Hammer Horror ''Frankenstein'' series. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', K. Rool wears an Ancient Egyptian-style collar and loincloth, much like a pharaoh. Cranky Kong mentions in the ''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet that K. Rool had given up his silly disguises in that game. While he has not seriously gone incognito since Baron K. Roolenstein, for the final fight he goes by the moniker "King Krusha K. Rool" as a boxer. During this fight he sports a stereotypical one-piece as well as boxing gloves with a champion's belt. | In King K.
