-'''Colossal Clambo''' is a large [[Clambo]] boss encountered in the last area of [[Kremlantis]], Seabed Showdown, in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. Unlike its unmoving brethren, the Colossal Clambo is perfectly capable of moving through the water.

+The '''Giant Clam''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 74, page 20.</ref> or '''[[Clambo]]''',<ref>''Donkey Kong Land'', ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) WORLD EXCLUSIVE Review booklet, page 15.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue #35, page 51.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #31, page 65.</ref> is the second boss of ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. It is fought in [[Seabed Showdown]], the boss level of [[Kremlantis]], and is the first boss in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] to be fought underwater.
+The Giant Clam's main attack is to spit out pearls at [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], similar to the Clambos from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' but unlike the ones in ''Donkey Kong Land''. Unlike most Clambos, which are sessile, the Giant Clam is capable of moving through the water. The Giant Clam always shoots out pearls from the opposite corner that the Kongs are in. In order to harm the Giant Clam, Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong must trick it into shoot a pearl at a nearby diagonal, harmless sponge in a corner and then quickly move out of the way before the pearl hits them. In doing so, the pearl bounces off the sponge's shell and into the Giant Clam. Each time the Giant Clam is hit, it moves around faster and shoots pearls at a quicker pace. Once the Giant Clam takes a total of eight hits, it is defeated. Like the other bosses, defeating the Giant Clam causes three [[Banana Bunch]]es to fall from the top of the screen.

-The Colossal Clambo can attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] or [[Diddy Kong]] by moving around and spitting pearls at them. He has a simple attack pattern, however, as he shoots the pearls from the opposite corner that the Kongs are in. In order to harm the giant boss, the Kongs must trick it into shooting its pearls at another nearby smaller Clambo, then quickly move out of the way before the pearl hits them. The pearls then bounce off this enemy and smash into the Colossal Clambo. After being hit several times, the Colossal Clambo begins to move faster and shoot pearls at a quicker pace. Despite this, Colossal Clambo can be defeated after a few more hits.
