Krumple

Krumples are large blue muscular members of the Kremling Krew. They are similar to Krushas, Krunchas, and Kasplats, other blue muscular Kremlings, though they are most similar to Krusha, in terms of behavior.

Krumples are first encountered in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies, attack Dixie and Kiddy Kong by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack, and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. They laugh and taunt the Kongs when they unsuccessfully try to hit them. However, certain Animal Buddies, a throwable weapon (such as a barrel), or Kiddy's jump attack, can defeat a Krumple. Krumples can also be defeated by Kiddy rolling onto them from above, like Klampons and Krimps. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or waterfall levels.

Krumples also appear Donkey Kong Land III, a semi-sequel to Donkey Kong Country 3. There is no real difference between the Krumples of Donkey Kong Land 3 and the ones of Donkey Kong Country 3; however, they are much more common than they were in the previous game.

Kludge's Super Smash Bros. Brawl trophy mentions Krumple, but only in the US version of the game.
