—Grumpy Kong, Donkey Kong Bananza

Grumpy Kong is the orangutan-like director of manufacturing of Void Company in Donkey Kong Bananza. He has red fur, wields a pickaxe, and wears mining attire. Grumpy Kong is responsible for creating monsters such as Peekabruiser to guard routes deeper into the planet.[1] During his boss battle, he operates the King Crockoid,[2] a giant Crockoid made up of various Crockoid skeletons mixed together.

In the postgame, he can be found in the Ingot Isle Cave-In and Groove Layer with Poppy Kong, with whom he has started a construction company. He also appears at the end of the Forbidden Layer, where he gives Donkey Kong a Banandium Gem after Donkey Kong talks to Poppy Kong about Void Kong surviving the events of King K. Rool's return.

He later appears in the Emerald Rush mode's ending. After Void Kong admits that his true aim for the Emerald Gems was to restore the Pay-Dirt Piledriver, Grumpy Kong informs Pauline and Donkey Kong that he sabotaged it and made it unable to leave the island, having anticipated Void Kong's trickery from his prior employment under him.

General information[edit]

Physical description[edit]

Grumpy Kong is a large Kong, towering over Donkey Kong himself. He has gray skin with purple eyebags, crooked teeth. He has red fur covering his arms and on his head, styled like sideburns.

Appearance[edit]

Grumpy Kong's outfit resembles a miner or construction worker's. He wears a pair of dark brown denim pants, a yellow toolbelt with black hazard stripes, a gray shirt, a short-sleeved green jacket with a Void Company patch on the sleeve, a pair of yellow-and-purple gloves and a yellow miner's helmet. He wields a large pickaxe that is stylised like a wrench, with a jagged yellow blade and an orange hilt.

Personality[edit]

Grumpy Kong exhibits a stoic, gruff demeanor. He is very diligent about his work, quickly assembling weapons to further the company's goal and obstruct DK's progress. He expresses pride in his craftsmanship. Grumpy Kong has a strong sense of respect for those who can best him, as despite his commitment to stopping DK, he willingly steps aside to let his adversary progress when he is defeated.
