The Stompenclomper is a boss in Donkey Kong Bananza. It is a large, two-legged Stompoid with a mohawk, three mismatched teeth, and two glowing eyes, the left one being larger and having a glowing scar over it. It is fought twice in the main story: once in the Canyon Layer, and once in the Planet Core as K. Stompenclomper. Its main method of attack involves trying to stomp Donkey Kong with its terrain-covered feet.
In the Canyon Layer, after diving down into Click-Clack Smokestack's interior, Donkey Kong and Pauline encounter Stompenclomper, which jumps into the arena and initiates a battle. To defeat it, Donkey Kong must break its terrain shell and then attack the exposed golden mechanical core containing a Void Stake, which it has instead of the golden skull that regular Stompoids have. Destroying one of Stompenclomper's feet will cause it to switch from walking to hopping in the same manner as its smaller Stompoid brethren, and destroying both feet will immobilise it, making it easier to attack. Once half of its health is depleted, it regenerates, albeit converting the shell and one of its feet to concrete. Donkey Kong can either tear off chunks of stone or use the Kong Bananza to attack it. Once defeated, it leaves its Void Stake behind. The duo break it and then dive down to The Divide, where its three-bunch Banandium Gem lands.
In the Planet Core, a second Stompenclomper, called K. Stompenclomper, appears at Kremling Kamp in sublayer 1605. Unlike the K. Wallopoids, K. Stompenclomper's appearance doesn't change to resemble a Kremling, though its terrain shell resembles the layer's stone. After its defeat, it leaves behind Banandium Gem 14, titled "Stomped Stompenclomper! Again!".
During the post-game, Stompenclomper can be rematched in the Boss Rush challenge in Ingot Isle Cave-In, unlocked by paying gold to Grumpy Kong. It is the fifth and final boss in this challenge, being fought after Muckety-Muck. Its defeat grants access to two five-bunch Banandium Gems: #30, titled "Kong-quered Stompenclomper!"; and #31, titled "Kong-quered the Boss Rush!".
