-'''Klampons''' are blue-skinned, red-spotted, quadrupedal [[Kremling]]s who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They are the big brother of [[Klaptrap]]s, a similar enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and have a big head, large jaws, and bulging eyes similar to theirs. Klampons do not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', where they were replaced by [[Krimp]]s.

Klampons were eventually succeeded by [[Krimp]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''
-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 front because this injures them. They can defeat a Klampon by rolling into it from behind, [[jump]]ing on it, or by throwing a [[barrel]] or [[crate]] at it.
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
-Klampons sometimes appear alongside their functional opposite, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]], who are immune to jump attacks but are vulnerable to frontal attacks. An example of both enemies grouped together is in [[Castle Crush]], where defeating either enemy may accidentally lead the [[Kong]]s to injury from the other enemy.
+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.
-According to the game's credits, Klampons belong to the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.
-In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Klampons make a cameo in "Freestyle Zone", where their artwork pops on-screen in response to the player hitting the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].
