'''Kongs''' are sapient non-human primates that make up much of the cast of the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise, with [[Donkey Kong|the eponymous character]] himself being one. They are capable of things such as speech and building houses, and typically wear clothing, though the amount varies drastically with the individual, with DK himself only wearing a tie, while many others wear full outfits. They seem to be native to [[Donkey Kong Island]], and share an animosity with much of the crocodilian [[Kremling]] race. While most of them share the surname "Kong," they are not all directly related to one another. Kongs can resemble any number of real-life primates, with [[Donkey Kong]], [[Funky Kong]], and several others being gorillas, [[Diddy Kong]] being a monkey, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Tiny Kong]] being chimpanzees, and [[Lanky Kong]] being an oranguatan.
