However, various ruins on Donkey Kong Island, such as the ones in [[Millstone Mayhem]], depict Kremling visages, potentially meaning they have some history there as well. [[Kremlantis]] is a semi-submerged complex that also features several temples with Kremling visages. | ||

Kremlings are known to be rather apathetic regarding industrial safety; this can be seen with [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Mekanos]], [[K3]], [[Frantic Factory]], [[Ghost Island]], and [[Chill 'n' Char Island]], the factories making up the first of these being referred to by the ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual as "The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements."<ref>"''The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements are the huge factories they built in Donkey Kong Country.
