History

Donkey Kong Country/Land series

Donkey Kong Country

A Klump with an "A" letter in the Game Boy Color version of Donkey Kong Country.

Klump first appears in Donkey Kong Country as a semi-common enemy. Due to his helmet, Klump cannot be hurt by some attacks (such as Diddy Kong jumping on him). Klump can only be harmed by either a frontal attack (such as Diddy's cartwheel), Donkey Kong jumping on him, or by having a barrel thrown at him.

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, an enemy similar to Klump called Kannon appears. According to the manual, this enemy is Klump dressed like a pirate. Kannons also appear in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Donkey Kong Country novel

An individual Klump appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Country novel. In the first chapter, Klump leads a Kremling squad to take Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard and encounter Diddy Kong. Diddy manages to cartwheel into Klump but he is eventually subdued by the Kremlings and sealed inside a barrel, which Klump promptly kick accross the jungle. He then makes off with the bananas.
