General Klump

Much of Klump's origin was revealed in the Christmas themed episode "The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights". This episode reveals that as a young boy, Klump ended up causing a huge fire which devastated the swamp where he and his family lived. Klump's older brother, revealed to be the infamous pirate and K. Rool's rival, Kaptain Skurvy, in a show of true brotherly love, decided to take the blame for Klump. This resulted in Skurvy's banishment from the home swamp. Klump only recalled vague memories of these events until Skurvy reveals everything to him. The end of the episode reveals that Klump had planned on joining Skurvy's crew, but was presumably dissuaded by King K. Rool based on later episodes.

Trivia

 * The Klump species are purple, but General Klump is greenish yellow.
 * General Klump, along with Krusha, appears in a commercial for the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, in which they fight Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and Rambi the Rhino for the possession of a giant GBC system. The commercial features models of the former four characters as depicted in the second season of the animated series, with Rambi being presented in a similar style (despite never being featured in the show itself).
