"You'll never beat us Kremlings this time!"

—Klubba in Donkey Kong Country 2 GBA

The Kremlings are a race of anthropomorphic crocodiles in the Donkey Kong Series that have conflicts with the Kong Family. They are often the main enemies in the series. The vast majority of them are members of the Kremling Krew, led by K. Rool (with the sole exception being K. Lumsy).

They have repeatedly tried to steal Donkey and Diddy's Banana Hoard for reasons that aren't fully understood but involve starving the primates to death and occupying DK's Treehouse (effectively making K. Rool the king of Donkey Kong Island). To reach his goal, he has even gone as far as kidnapping Kong Family members such as DK and Diddy. He's likely been terrorizing the Kongs prior to DKC and back in the glory days of a younger Cranky Kong and Donkey Kong Junior.

Biology

The Kremling species is characterized by crocodile heads, sharp teeth, scaly skin, yellow bellies, tails, and 3 toes with pointy nails. Physical differences between Kremlings can be quite varied. For example, the Kritter subspecies is bipedal, and the Klaptrap subspecies is quadrupedal. Kremlings come in a wide variety of colors, perhaps the most common of which being the following: green, purple, blue, brown, yellow, gray, orange, red, and pink. They can also have features that reptilians do not naturally have: nipples, ears, horns, and hair are all things that Kremlings can be seen with.

Certain subspecies of Kremlings have been shown to be capable of breathing underwater, such as Klomp in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (as demonstrated in Lockjaw's Locker, the very first water stage in said game). They could possibly all be capable of breathing underwater. Kremlings have also been shown to be immune to toxic waste (best demonstrated in the Toxic Tower stage of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest).

Most all Kremlings either are or resemble a male. The only two known female Kremlings in the entire Donkey Kong series are Kass and Kalypso.

Society And Culture

The Kremlings born in Lost World where they established their society and culture. They have set wooden spears in pits to protect Krocodile Kore's power source what is their great secret. Like most reptilians, the Kremlings live in swamps from Crocodile Isle. Krocheads are primitive Kremlings that are also native to these marshes. Despite their primitive nature, however, the Kremlings have built a floating complex located nearby Crocodile Isle.

Evil Kremlings founded a pirate society known as Kremling Kuthroats, where they established a town and built two Kremling Galleons. They kept valuables looted in underground storage. Undead Kremlings, such as Kleever, Kloak, Kackle and Krossbones, were part of the pirate group. The Kremling Kuthroats supremacy possibly began to implode by the time of the Kremean War, where two galleons were wrecked.

The Kremling Krew formation, which was lead by King K. Rool, turned them into a race of toughened soldiers. They were treated very poorly by his cruel dictatorship. During the reign of the Kremling Krew, they were characterized as technologically advanced. They had created numerous machines. For example: robots, airships, amusement parks, submarines, warships, laser weapons and spacecrafts. They are shown as very environmentally uncaring, as they establish harmful factories, waste natural resources from their own island, release toxic waste into their castles, and cause deforestation. They are also chemists, creating gases and poisons.

The cause of antagonism towards the Kongs is unknown, but they met prior to when invaded Donkey Kong Island. Their homeland Crocodile Isle is known to be neighboring to DK Island.

Some Kremlings were even Wrinkly Kong's students. However, they were shown to be difficult to educate, as they often had incorrect sums. One of them was even caught bringing his sword to class.
