'''Kritters''' are a type of [[Kremling]] and the main foot soldiers of the [[Kremling Krew]], led by [[King K. Rool]]. Kritters come in a variety of colors, but are most commonly colored green or blue. As a basic representative, Kritters are named "Kremling" in some of their game appearances. Kritters first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and they sometimes appear in spinoff games of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]].

Likewise, a distinct Kremling variety formed by [[Kaboing]]s, which have two peg legs, replace ''Donkey Kong Country's'' jumping Kritters. Compared to the Kritters of the previous game, these varieties have a more upright posture, presumably due to their peg legs. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kritters were replaced by a different type of Kremling, [[Kobble]]s, while jumping Kritters are replaced by [[Re-Koil]]s.

Starting with ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', Kritters received another redesign. They are significantly more muscular, especially in their chest and arms, and have a rounder snout and head. Their redesign also includes tattered tan pants and spiked wristbands. They still retain their skull belt from ''Donkey Kong 64''.

|desc2=These enemies are part of King K. Rool's Kremling gang in the Donkey Kong series. The green ones attack with their strong jaws, while the blue use their sharp claws in spinning attacks for powerful slashing. They don't have a lot of launching power, but their relentless assaults can easily wear you down.
