Kremling: Difference between revisions

In a similar manner to [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]]s, Kremlings are depicted with multiple body shapes and statures, the most common being bipedal and humanoid. Some however, such as [[Klaptrap]], are quadrupedal, with a tail dragging behind them like real life crocodilians. Bipedal Kremlings, such as [[Kritter]]s, often have distinctly humanoid torsos with pectorals, navels and distinct shoulders; some have even more of these characteristics, such as external ears and hair. Many Kremlings are quite large, rivaling the size of Donkey Kong, who himself is known to weigh 800 pounds. Still others are much larger, such as K. Lumsy and [[Kerozene]]. Kremlings appear in a wide variety of colors, such as blue, red, grey, purple, and orange; however, the most common colors seem to be the various shades of green.

The Kremlings are known to enjoy eating [[Banana]]s and Klump is also seen eating [[Orange Grenade]]s. <ref>The ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual, page 4</ref> <ref>''"I hear they like bananas. Blech..."'' [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]]</ref>

Kremlings are known to be rather apathetic regarding industrial safety; this can be seen with [[Kremkroc Industries, Inc.]], [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Mekanos]], [[K3]], [[Frantic Factory]], [[Ghost Island]] and [[Chill 'n' Char Island]], the factories making up the first of these being referred to by the ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual as "The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements."<ref>"The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements are the huge factories they built in Donkey Kong Country. These factories do not adhere to special safety codes, and are full of burning oil drums, faulty lighting, and perilous platforms. Enter at your own risk." - ''Donkey Kong Country'' manual, page 20</ref> From this, they tend to cause large amounts of pollution, as seen with [[Poison Pond]], and show general neglect for the environment, as shown in their [[Ripsaw Rage|deforesting]] in Mekanos for the sole purpose of defeating the Kongs.<ref>''"The Kremlings will stop at nothing, not even cutting down an entire forest, to get you."'' - ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, page 60</ref> This contrasts with the Kongs, who are typically shown to be in harmony with nature.
