'''Krumples''' are large, blue, and muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]] who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have a similar appearance and role to [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the two respective previous installments. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.


Krumples are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies attack [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. Certain [[Animal Buddy]]s, a throwable weapon (such as a [[barrel]]) or Kiddy's jump attack can defeat a Krumple. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or levels that have waterfallls in them.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
Krumples only appear in three levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'': [[Rocket Barrel Ride]], [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], and [[Creepy Caverns]]. Like most enemies, Krumples attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated by a [[barrel]], [[team up]], or having Kiddy [[jump]] on them (just like how in the first game, only [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat blue [[Krusha]]s with a jump attack). In [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] can defeat Krumples by spraying water at them, while in [[Creepy Cavern]]s, Krumples can be defeated by [[Squitter the Spider]]'s webs. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's [[roll]], unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the [[Kong]]s. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Krumple photograph appears under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category.


Krumples also appear ''[[Donkey Kong Land 3]]'', a semi-sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3]]''. There is no real difference between the Krumples of ''Donkey Kong Land 3'' and the ones of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. A Krumple is also on the boxart of ''Donkey Kong Land 3''.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krumples also appear in [[Surf's Up]], and its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' remake.


== Trivia ==
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', though Krumples behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', they appear in significantly more levels.


* Interestingly, A Kremling resembling a Krumple appears as a playable character in upcoming game ''[[DK Bongo Blast]]''.

==Trivia==
*Instead of making the defeated enemy sound, Krumples make an actual roar when knocked out. This roar is a slowed down version of the same sound effect used for [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] and [[Kuff 'n' Klout]], and this very roar is based on an actual alligator's bellow.
*Krumple is mentioned in [[Kludge]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], but only in American English versions.
