'''Klampons''' are blue-skinned, red-spotted, quadrupedal [[Kremling]]s that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are the big brothers of [[Klaptrap]]s, a similar enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and have a big head, large jaws, and bulging eyes similar to theirs. Klampons were eventually succeeded by [[Krimp]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''


'''Klampons''' are crocodilian-like enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and later make a reappearance in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.  
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
Klampons act very similarly to Klaptraps, but are notably bigger and move slower. Klampons attack by repeatedly chomping their jaws while moving back and forth. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] cannot roll into a Klampon from the side because this injures them, but a Klampon can be defeated from a [[jump]] attack, having a [[barrel]] or [[crate]] thrown at it, from an [[Animal Friend]]. In addition, unlike the case with Klaptraps, the Kongs can roll into a Klampon from above, if they roll from a platform higher than it. Klampons have a functional opposite, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]], which are protected from jumping attacks but are vulnerable to frontal attacks, such as in [[Castle Crush]], where defeating either enemy may accidentally cause the [[Kong]]s to become hurt by the other one. Klampons have the same defeated voice clips as [[Klomp]]s as well as many other Kremlings, but are mute in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|version]]. In the cast roll, Klampons are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.


==Appearance==
;Levels
They appear as blue and red-spotted crocodiles with small bodies, big heads and jaws, and bulging eyes. They are relatives of [[Klaptraps]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Indeed they bear an extreme resemblance to each other, although the Klampon is a bit larger than a Klaptrap. Both enemies share the same way of attack, and are invulnerable to a frontal attack as well as an attack from behind. However a [[stomp]] will take care of them. Klampons are also vulnerable from a cartwheel or spin attack from above, unlike Klaptrap. Sometimes Klampons appear with their functional opposites (weak to frontal attacks but immune to [[jump]] attacks), the [[Spiny (Donkey Kong)|Spinies]]. This makes it harder to defeat the group of enemies, as defeating one may accidentally lead to being hurt by the other.
