'''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]]''.
'''Klingers''' are [[Kremling]]s with the capability of climbing ropes and chains. 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. Their artwork also depicts them having a large dagger in their mouth, though it does not appear in-game. Klingers do not have an instinctive climbing ability, but were instead trained specifically to achieve this ability.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Nintendo Player's Guide, page 13.</ref> Klingers first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''.

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>
[[File:Chain Link Chamber.png|thumb|left|Diddy and Dixie holding on a chain near two Klingers at [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]] in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'']]
 
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Klingers first appear in [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mainbrace Mayhem]]. They repeatedly climb up a rope or another object, such as a chain, before sliding down, usually making it harder for [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] to get across the ropes. A Klinger can be defeated from having an object thrown at it, such as a [[barrel]], [[Cannonball|kannonball]], or a [[crate]], or from a [[team up]] throw. The affected Klinger falls off the rope when defeated. Like most other enemies, if Diddy or Dixie touch a Klinger, the player loses that [[Kong]]. In [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Krockhead Klamber]], the Klingers are climbing on cattails. Later on, Klingers noticeably appear as in [[Chain Link Chamber (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Chain Link Chamber]] as the main enemies encountered. In the ending credits, Klingers are classified under "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" along with the other Kremlings.
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.
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Klingers also first appear in the game's counterpart of the level [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Mainbrace Mayhem]]. Diddy or Dixie can now defeat a Klinger by moving horizontally into it if they are on intersecting ropes. In the end credits, Klingers, along with the other enemies and bosses, are instead classified as "The Baddies."

===''Donkey Konga 2''===
In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Klinger's artwork is among the graphics that can display onscreen in Freestyle Zone as the player hits the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].

==Profiles==
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
*'''''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet:''' ''Look out below! Klinger climbs around in the rigging, ready to slide down on anyone below him.''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' SNES manual. {{media link|DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|Page 28}}.</ref>
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.
*'''''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (Game Boy Advance) instruction booklet:''' ''Look out below! Klinger climbs around in the rigging, ready to slide down on anyone passing beneath.''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' GBA manual. Page 22.</ref>
 
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.
 
===''Donkey Konga 2''===
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]].
