Krook

Krooks are Kremlings encountered in several levels of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. Krooks wear large red, button-up trench coats and possess hooks for hands. Krooks attack by hurling their dangerous appendages at any nearby monkeys, although they only use one hand for throwing hooks. If the hooks miss, they will boomerang back. Krooks can be defeated with a simple jump on the head or be hitting them with any kind of projectile, they are usually found in caves and castles, but will occasionally appear in other levels. Krooks look like a normal Kritter, but they are more scaly, possess bigger feet and have rounder eyes without cats-eye slits like Kritters have.

Trivia

 * According to the game's credits, Krooks belong to the "Kremling Kuthroats" enemy class.
 * Krooks and Boomerang Bros. attack in a very similar way. Although, boomerangs tossed by Boomerang Bros. fly in an oval way while Krooks' hooks are tossed in a straight line.
