In a now defunct Facebook page for Rare employees, former Rare artist and employee [[Kevin Bayliss]] | In a now defunct Facebook page for Rare employees, former Rare artist and employee [[Kevin Bayliss]] revealed that Krunch was not originally designed to be a Kremling.<ref>[https://sourcegaming.info/2017/11/15/new-content-approaching-krunch/ "Character Chronicle: Krunch"] Sourcegaming.info. Note: Article references [https://www.facebook.com/groups/210228099016826/ a dead link] to a Facebook group. Posted November 15, 2017. Accessed August 26, 2020.</ref><ref name=KrashBayliss>[http://www.dkvine.com/interactive/forums/lofiversion/index.php?t7116.html DKVine Forum]. Quotes Kevin Bayliss from defunct Facebook link: "I think however, I did stick 'Krash' into DKR, as I wanted a bad guy in there. He wasn't really a DK character, just a quick 'croc-character' based on the Kremlins I guess, who looked cool in the car, plane and hovercraft - so I left him there!"</ref> His creation predates ''Diddy Kong Racing'' being a ''Donkey Kong'' series game, as originally, [[Timber]] was slated to be the main character. Krunch was designed to fulfill the role of a "bad guy" playable character, and was meant to be a crocodile. Upon attaching [[Diddy Kong]] to the project, Krunch was slightly altered to be a Kremling. | ||

''YouTube''. Posted February 18, 2017. Accessed August 30, 2020.</ref> reveals that Krunch was named "Krash" earlier in development; this name is corroborated by Bayliss.<ref name=KrashBayliss/> However, the name "Krash" was already used by [[Krash|a different Kremling]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', which may have played a factor in the character being renamed to "Krunch". | |||
