'''Klomps'''<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKC2 Manual 28-29.jpg|page 28]].</ref> are the main [[Kremling]] grunts employed by [[Kaptain K. Rool]] and his [[Kremling Krew]] during the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. They wear red and white-striped boxers. These soldiers are spread throughout [[Crocodile Isle]], the home island of the Kremling race and are part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.  [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] defeat many Klomps during their attempt to save the kidnapped [[Donkey Kong]] from Kaptain K. Rool.  Like many other members of the Kremling Krew during this time, Klomps donned pirate regalia (specifically sailor pants and a peg leg) like their leader Kaptain K. Rool (the pirate alias of King K. Rool).

Klomps can only attack by marching into Diddy or Dixie, hurting them on impact. Klomps tend to patrol a small area individually but are often found in groups. They act the same in both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', some Klomps appear underwater, such as in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Glimmer's Galleon]], and can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]].

Klomps have the same role as common [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.  In fact, Klomps look almost exactly like Kritters, the notable difference being the former's pirate appearance. Additionally, Klomps appear to be heavily scarred, and they only have green skin, while Kritters come in many different colors. Also, Klomps cannot jump like some Kritters can.  [[Kaboing]]s instead possess this ability (although Kaboings themselves appear to simply be Klomps with two peg legs, instead of just one).

Klomps[1] are the main Kremling grunts employed by Kaptain K. Rool and his Kremling Krew during the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2.

Klomps are the pirate counterparts of Kritters from Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land.[2] Unlike Kritters, Klomps are less hunched and only have a green coloration. In their artwork, Klomps appear to be heavily scarred, though they do not have this trait in-game. Klomps themselves would later replaced by Kobbles in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.
