Kutlass is a shipmate of Kaptain Skurvy and recurring character on the Donkey Kong Country animated series. He is Skurvy's first-mate, and he speaks with a distinctive Italian accent. Kutlass is voiced by John Stocker, the same person who voices Toad in the Mario cartoons. Kutlass's model is a recolor of King K. Rool's, as the two are identical besides their scale color and clothes.

General information

Despite Kutlass being Kaptain Skurvy's number one minion, he does not appear as much as his captain on the show. In the episodes Kutlass does appear in, he is making plans to steal the Crystal Coconut with Skurvy and his shipmate Green Kroc.

Kutlass is the one of the two of Skurvy's minions that actually follows the Pirate Handbook and knows it by heart. Though despite his loyalty, he can sometimes get snappy with his Kaptain, but withdraws the remarks quickly after.

Trivia

• Despite sharing his name with a species of Kremling from the game, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Kutlass looks little like this type of Kremling at all. Instead, Kutlass resembles King K. Rool, but with a lighter scale tone.
• Occasionally, his voice gets switched with Green Kroc's due to internal errors.
