[[File:Klump DKC sprite.png|frame|left]]
Klumps first appear in ''Donkey Kong Country'' as a semi-common enemy. Due to their helmets, Klumps cannot be hurt by some attacks (such as [[Diddy Kong]] jumping on him). Klumps can only be harmed by either a frontal attack (such as Diddy's [[cartwheel]]), [[Donkey Kong]] jumping on them, the aid of an [[Animal Friend]], or by having a barrel thrown at them.
[[File:Jungle Hijinxs two Klumps.png|thumb|Donkey Kong defeats a Klump in Jungle Hijinxs]]
Klumps wear a helmet that protect them from [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]]'s [[jump]]ing attack, but it still pushes back a Klump slightly. Despite their strength, Klumps can defeated from most attacks, including from a [[barrel]], [[Rambi]], being [[roll]]ed or [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheeled]] into by [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], respectively, or from Donkey Kong jumping on them. In [[Gang-Plank Galleon]]'s fake ending credits, Klump is credited for doing the game's "KONCEPT".

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', enemies similar to Klumps called [[Kannon]]s appear. According to the manual, these enemies are Klumps dressed like pirates. Kannons also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake]], Donkey Kong can obtain a [[photograph]] of Klump by [[Hand Slap]]ping it.
 
An individual Klump appears as an antagonist in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' novel. In the first chapter, Klump leads a [[Kremling]] squad to take [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Banana Hoard]] and encounter [[Diddy Kong]]. Diddy manages to cartwheel into Klump but he is eventually subdued by the Kremlings and sealed inside a barrel, which Klump promptly kick across the jungle. He then makes off with the bananas.
 
Klump reappears in the final chapter. When the [[Kongs]] board the [[Gangplank Galleon]], Klump taunts Diddy, but the monkey cartwheel into him, sending him overboard.

[[File:DKCTVKlump.png|thumb|right|General Klump in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]]
In the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]] a single Klump, aptly named [[General Klump]], is one of [[King K. Rool]]'s generals. Despite his fearsome appearance, Klump was actually a big softy on the inside.
 
===''Donkey Kong 64''===
Klumps make a reappearance in ''Donkey Kong 64''. Here, they are much larger and have an odd pinkish coloration. They can attack the Kongs physically and throw unripe, green [[Orange]]s. They can also be seen eating their Oranges, which is comically followed by an explosion in their stomach, causing them to burp. Although the Kongs can attack Klumps with their direct attacks, they can only truly be defeated by using a shock wave attack, an Orange, a musical instrument, or by having [[Chunky Kong]] touch them while in his [[Hunky Chunky]] state. Klumps are found in [[Jungle Japes]], [[Angry Aztec]], [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] and [[Hideout Helm]]. They appear during the day in Fungi Forest, and are replaced by [[Bones (enemy)|Bones]] at night.
 
A Klump is shown near the end of the [[DK Rap]] as he finishes it by throwing an Orange Grenade. One Klump (possibly [[General Klump]]) can be seen in the intro to the game, and is King K.Rool's henchman who accidentally sends a [[Kritter]] and [[Kasplat]] flying away after reporting for duty. He explains to his master how they have "already taken care of business" by kidnapping Chunky, Lanky, Tiny, and Diddy Kong in different parts of the island. However, K.Rool overrules him hoping he is right this time.

Klumps can only truly be defeated by the [[Super Slam|shockwave attack]], throwing an orange, using a musical instrument, or if Chunky touches them while in his [[Hunky Chunky]] state. When defeated, Klump spins around, does a military salute and then falls down. Klumps release three oranges upon defeat. From a distance, Klumps can be seen eating an orange, which is comically followed by an explosion in their stomach, causing them to burp.

Klumps are obese Kremlings and militaristic ground troops of the Kremling Krew as well as higher-ranked members of it.[2][3] Klumps first appear in Donkey Kong Country.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country series[edit]

Klumps wear a helmet that protect them from Diddy's jumping attack, but it still pushes back a Klump slightly. Despite their strength, Klumps can defeated from most attacks, including from a barrel, Rambi, being rolled or cartwheeled into by Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, respectively, or from Donkey Kong jumping on them. In Gang-Plank Galleon's fake ending credits, Klump is credited for doing the game's "KONCEPT".

In the backstory in the game's instruction manual, "Klump the Kremling" traps Diddy Kong in a DK Barrel before stealing the banana hoard with his group of Kremlings.[4] In the Game Boy Advance version's intro, he is replaced with Krusha.

In the Game Boy Advance remake, Donkey Kong can obtain a photograph of Klump by Hand Slapping it.

Klumps appear in the following levels:

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its handheld counterpart, Donkey Kong Land 2, enemies similar to Klump appear, known as Kannons. According to the manual, Kannons are Klumps dressed up in pirate gear.

Donkey Kong Country novel[edit]

An individual Klump appears as an antagonist in the Donkey Kong Country novel. In the first chapter, Klump leads a Kremling squad to take Donkey Kong's banana hoard, and they encounter Diddy Kong. Diddy tries to prevent the Kremlings from stealing the bananas. He manages to cartwheel into Klump but is then restrained by him and sealed inside a barrel, which Klump promptly kicks across the jungle. Klump and the Kremlings then depart with the bananas.

Klump reappears in the final chapter, where Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Cranky Kong board the Gangplank Galleon and battle numerous Kremlings. Diddy cartwheels into Klump after it taunts him, and the Klump is sent overboard.

Donkey Kong Country TV series[edit]

General Klump in the Donkey Kong Country animated series

In the Donkey Kong Country animated series a single Klump, aptly named General Klump, is one of King K. Rool's generals. Despite his fearsome appearance, Klump is actually a big softy on the inside.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

Intro
A Klump during the opening sequence, where it assures K. Rool that the Kongs have been kidnapped.

Klumps reappear in Donkey Kong 64. They appear in every level except for Frantic Factory, Creepy Castle, and the DK Isles hub. In Fungi Forest, Klumps only appear during the day time and are replaced by Bones at night. Klumps attack the active Kong by throwing unripe, green oranges at them. Klumps can also bounce the Kong backward with their belly. Klumps are among the stronger enemies, as they are resistant to basic attacks; the Kongs can attack a Klump directly without getting hurt, but the direct attack will only stun the Klump for a while. Klumps can only truly be defeated by the shockwave attack, throwing an orange, using a musical instrument, or if Chunky touches them while in his Hunky Chunky state. When defeated, Klump spins around, does a military salute and then falls down. Klumps release three oranges upon defeat. From a distance, Klumps can be seen eating an orange, which is comically followed by an explosion in their stomach, causing them to burp.

Before appearing in levels, a Klump is first seen in the DK Rap, where during Chunky's verse, Chunky scares it away, and the DK Rap is also abruptly ended by the Klump throwing an orange at the screen. In game's intro cutscene, K. Rool orders a Klump, a Kritter and a Kasplat to imprison Donkey Kong's friends and steal the banana hoard. As Klump rushes into K. Rool's throne room, it accidentally knocks the Kritter and Kasplat out of the way. The Klump explains it and the other Kremlings have "already taken care of business" and shows that Chunky, Lanky, Tiny, and Diddy Kong have been imprisoned. K. Rool overrules Klump by hoping that it is right about taking care of business.

Klumps appear in the following levels:

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast[edit]

Klump is an unlockable playable character in Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast. As suggested by his stats, Klump is the rival of Lanky Kong, and he can be unlocked by completing Candy's Challenge 16: Beat Klump! Klump attacks by slamming his opponents with his belly. His bongos are brown with a metal ring on their midsections and bucket handles on their tops.

Unused appearances[edit]

Diddy Kong Pilot (2003)[edit]

A Klump was playable in the 2003 build of Diddy Kong Pilot. He had high speed and weight and a low acceleration. Klump is a member of Team Kremling. The player can unlock Klump, along with the rest of the Kremlings, by clearing all Cups as Team Kong.

Klump had voiced dialogue within the game and sounded similar to his cartoon counterpart. Klump was replaced with Klungo in the final version, Banjo-Pilot, as shown with their shared statistics.

Physical appearance[edit]

“All I see is one fat, loony lizard and a bunch of old barrels.”
—Diddy Kong, Ape Foo Young

In Donkey Kong Country Klumps have purple skin, a yellow belly, and wear a green military helmet with three chevrons. They also wear a green belt with five pockets and a pair of black boots.

In Donkey Kong 64, Klumps are larger than in Donkey Kong Country. They are pink and wear a yellow-orange vest over their belly, and also appear to be wearing shoes rather than boots.

In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, the playable Klump wears green camo pants and a wooden bucket on his head. He is a more subdued shade of brown, and is larger than King K. Rool.

Trivia[edit]

DKC Prerelease Klump.jpg
  • Klumps were resistant to Donkey Kong's jumping attack in the pre-release version of Donkey Kong Country. In the final game, Klumps are only resistant to Diddy Kong's jump attacks.
  • A pre-release image from Donkey Kong 64 shows a Klump chasing Lanky in a barn of Fungi Forest. In the final release, Klumps do not appear inside these barns.
