-'''Klomps''' were 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]]''.  These soldiers were spread throughout [[Crocodile Isle]], the home island of the Kremling race.  [[Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] defeated 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 are very weak, as they can be destroyed by any attack, including simple [[jumping]] and [[cartwheel|rolling]] attacks.  These pirate soldiers could only attack by marching into a [[Kong]], hurting the ape on impact.  Klomps tended to patrol a small area individually or in small groups, although in either case they were not much of a threat to Diddy and Dixie.
+'''Klomps'''<ref name=manual>''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]]''.
-Klomps reappeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', along with a resurrected Crocodile Isle.  They fulfilled the same purpose in the Kremling Krew as in the previous adventure, and they could be defeated in the same ways. The most recent appearance of Klomps has been in ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]''.
+Klomps are the pirate counterparts of [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.<ref>WinkySteve (December 17, 2017). [https://x.com/WinkySteve/status/942523428606799874 ''X'']. Retrieved December 17, 2017.</ref> 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 [[Kobble]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
-Klomps fulfilled the same role as [[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 regalia.  Additionally, Klomps appear to be heavily scarred, implying they may have been regular Kritters who have served in many battles, perhaps in the battles against Donkey Kong during the events of ''Donkey Kong Country'' and ''Donkey Kong Land''.  However, Klomps have some notable differences from Kritters.  For example, Klomps only have green skin, while Kritters came 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).
+==History==
+===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
+In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Klomps are encountered in many levels. A Klomp's only behavior involves it marching forward in a single direction and hurting [[Diddy Kong]] or [[Dixie Kong]] upon contact. Klomps tend to patrol a small area individually, though many of them appear in groups. Klomps are very weak, as they can be defeated by any attack, including simple [[jump]]ing, [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] and [[Helicopter Spin|spin]] attacks. 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]]. In the Cast of Characters, Klomps are classified as part of the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]."
-Klomps were in turn replaced by [[Kobble]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''.
