'''Krumples''' are large blue muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They are similar to [[Krusha]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Kasplat]]s, other blue muscular [[Kremling]]s, though they are most similar to Krusha, in terms of behavior. According to the game's credits, Krumples belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

Krumples are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies, attack [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack, and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. They laugh and taunt the [[Kong]]s when they unsuccessfully try to hit them. However, certain [[Animal Friends]], a throwable weapon (such as a [[barrel]]), or Kiddy's jump attack can defeat a Krumple, similar to how [[Donkey Kong]] is able to defeat Krushas in the first game. Krumples can also be defeated by Kiddy rolling onto them from above, like [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or waterfall levels.
'''Krumples''' are large, blue, and muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]] who appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They have a similar appearance and role to [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the two respective previous installments. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.


Krumples also appear ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', a semi-sequel to ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. There is no real difference between the Krumples of ''Donkey Kong Land 3'' and the ones of ''Donkey Kong Country 3''; however, they are much more common than they were in the previous game.
==History==
===''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''===
Krumples only appear in three levels of ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'': [[Rocket Barrel Ride]], [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], and [[Creepy Caverns]]. Like most enemies, Krumples attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by simply moving into them. A Krumple can be defeated from either a [[barrel]], [[Team Up]], or by having Kiddy [[jump]] on them (just like how in the first game, only [[Donkey Kong]] can defeat blue [[Krusha]]s with a jump attack. In [[Tracker Barrel Trek]], [[Ellie the Elephant]] can defeat Krumples by spraying water at them, while in [[Creepy Cavern]]s, Krumples can be defeated by [[Squitter the Spider]]'s webs. Krumples are unaffected by Kiddy's [[roll]], unless he performs it from high enough, or any of Dixie's attacks, and he will respond back by taunting the [[Kong]]s. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Krumple photograph appears under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] category.


[[Kludge]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[trophy]] mentions Krumple, but only in the US version of the game.  
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Krumples also appear in [[Surf's Up]], and its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' remake.


==Levels==
===''Donkey Kong Land III''===
Krumples appear in the following levels.
In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', though Krumples behave identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', they appear in significantly more levels.

==Trivia==
*A Kremling resembling a Krumple named [[Kludge]] appears as a playable character in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''.
*Krumple's sound effects in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' are actually Kruncha's sound effects recycled from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2's]]'' remake.
*Rather than making the usual defeated enemy sound, Krumples make an actual roar when knocked out.

==Trivia==
{{NIWA|DKWiki=1}}
*Rather than making the usual defeated enemy sound, Krumples make an actual roar when knocked out. This roar is a slowed down version of the same sound effect used for [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] and [[Kuff 'n' Klout]].
** This same roar is based on an actual alligator's bellow.
*Krumple is mentioned in [[Kludge]]'s ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], but only in American English versions.
