'''Klingers'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> are [[Kremling]]s with the capability of climbing ropes and chains. Their main appearances are in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. | |||

[[File:Chain Link Chamber.png|thumb|left|Two Klingers in [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]] of ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.]] | |||
Because Kremlings were not born with an instinctive climbing ability, Klingers were specifically trained to achieve this ability.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 13</ref> | |||
Klingers are orange-skinned, yellow-bellied Kremlings with a long, scaly tail. They wear a green, white-spotted head bandana and a matching loincloth around the waist. Klingers (aside from [[Klobber]]s) are among the few Kremlings to have ears, in which they have a hoop earring for each one. Klingers have clawed toes but their fingers do not. They also have a large dagger in their mouth, but are not known to use it. | |||
Klingers are classified with the other Kremlings under "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" during the ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' end credits, or "The Baddies" for ''Donkey Kong Land 2''{{'}}s. | |||

Klingers have a similar role in both ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', and first appear in [[Mainbrace Mayhem]] of each game. Klingers repeatedly climb up a rope or chain then slide down. They usually make it harder for [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] to go across the ropes, which is mostly noticeable in [[Chain Link Chamber]] where Klingers are featured as the main enemy. In [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]], the Klingers are climbing on swamp reeds. | |||

Klingers | Like with other enemies, the player loses the lead [[Kong]] if they hit a Klinger. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] can defeat Klingers by throwing objects at them, including [[barrel]]s, [[kannonball]]s, or [[crate]]s. This causes the affected Klingers to fall off the rope. | ||
Klinger makes a cameo in the Freestyle Zone of ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'' along with some other characters. Klinger's artwork sometimes displays on screen in correspondence to the player hitting the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]]. | |||
