Xananab



Xananab is a member of an unnamed species of aliens who resemble humanoid, partially peeled bananas and an ally of the Kong Family; Xananab originates from the banana shaped Planet Plantaen.

In DK: Jungle Climber, Xananab, for unexplained reasons, ventures to the top of Sun Sun Island on Donkey Kong's planet in his Banana Spaceship with the precious cargo of five powerful Crystal Bananas. After landing on Sun Sun Island, Xananab was apparently attacked by King K. Rool and his Kremling Gang, who stole his Crystal Bananas and quickly fled with them.

When Donkey, Diddy and Cranky Kong arrived at the peak of Sun Sun Island to investigate the Banana Spaceship, they were attacked by Xananab and his Banana Spaceship. Once the Banana Spaceship is destroyed, Xananab, realizing that Donkey, Diddy and Cranky weren't Kremlings, apologized to them and explained his story to them. After hearing Xananab's predicament and learning that without his Banana Spaceship he would not be able to reclaim the Crystal Bananas, Donkey, Diddy and Cranky decide to help him reclaim them.

Throughout DK: Jungle Climber, Xananab will appear in cutscenes, occasionally giving advice, and in some levels, where he will activate a Spirowarp, a portal making machine, for Donkey Kong if one is brought to him. Once King K. Rool is defeated on Planet Plantaen and all the Crystal Bananas are given back to him, Xananab, as thanks for their help in defeating the Kremling Gang, will give Donkey, Diddy and Cranky a large amount of bananas.
