Krockhead

Template:Species-infobox Krockheads (alternatively KrocHeads or Krocheads) are primitive Kremlings that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and later Donkey Kong Land 2. Only the head of a Krockhead is ever seen. Despite being an enemy, they cannot harm the Kongs directly. Instead, their heads are helpful to them, the green variety acting as platforms and the brown as springboards. They can be found in either water or lava. In some levels, Krockheads bob up and down, making timing a necessity. Sometimes, they must be summoned to the surface using a Krockhead Barrel; however, this summoning is only temporary.

Trivia

• The Krockhead bears something of a resemblance to the giant crocodile named sarcosuchus, due to the bulbous tip of the snout. They also resemble the gharial, but the Krockhead's snout is not as thin as the gharial's.
• In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Krockheads do not appear in the first ending's cast of characters, but appear in the version in Donkey Kong Land 2.
