Krusha is a high ranking muscular Kremling which serves as first close protection officer from Kremling Krew because of his brute force.[2][3][4]
Appearance
Krusha is a blue muscular Kremling with light tone belly and yellow four horns.
His main outfit is a camouflaged military suit, black belt and silver bands. As Kruncha, Krusha wear red bandana with white polka dots, earrings, yellow clothes, golden arm bands and anchor tattoo in shoulder.
History
Donkey Kong Country/ Land
Krusha make their first appearance in the original Donkey Kong Country where they first helped in stealing from the Banana Hoard defeating Diddy Kong. They debut in the level "Millstone Mayhem", at the very start of the level.
Krusha were rare enemies usually in a blue color that march in place. When Krusha walk, they make a loud stomping noise, showing their strength. Diddy Kong cannot damage a Krusha alone at all; his cartwheels and jumps will be laughed off as he rebounds; only Donkey Kong could defeat him by jumping on his head without the aid of a barrel. When DK uses his hand slap on a Krusha, he will laugh it off, though DK will still get a free banana. However, Donkey Kong cannot beat him with a roll.
An alternate, rare gray-colored Krusha appears in two levels of Chimp Caverns via "Necky Nutmare" (GBC only) and "Platform Perils. This type of Krusha is completely invincible even to Donkey Kong's jumps and the only method to defeat him is with throwing barrels, making the levels the Krusha appears in very difficult. In the level, the Vine Barrel is the crucial weapon used.
Krusha reappear in Donkey Kong Land, where they are essentially identical in all regards to their appearance in Donkey Kong Country, except for the gray Krusha, who did not appear due to limitations.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/ Land 2
Krusha appear as Kruncha in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 as pirate. Neither Diddy nor Dixie Kong can jump on his head alone to defeat them due to their lack of strength; in fact, upon doing so will make the Krusha growl with a arm-muscle gesture and glow red, causing them to walk much faster for a brief period of time. The main way to defeat them is via an item throw and/or the new "team-up" ability.
Donkey Kong 64
In Donkey Kong 64 multiplayer mode, players can play as a Krusha after photographing fifteen Banana Fairies; the playable Krusha is virtually identical in terms of gameplay to Chunky Kong, but utilizes an Orange Grenade Launcher in combat, as opposed to Chunky's Pineapple Launcher.

Other appearances
Club Nintendo comic
In the German Club Nintendo's comic adaptation of Donkey Kong Country, a Krusha makes a small cameo appearance, on the background of King K. Rool's Gangplank Galleon.
Television
Krusha is one of the main characters and antagonists on the Donkey Kong Country animated series. On the show Krusha was apparently King K. Rool's bodyguard and a high-ranking member of the Kremling Krew. Despite these high positions and responsibilities, Krusha is extremely dimwitted, having a hard time grasping simple concepts and becoming easily distracted. Interestingly, Krusha likes watching "The Sing Along with Uncle Swampy Show", a show meant for young children.
Krusha is also apparently best friends with K. Rool's second-in-command, General Klump and is oftentimes used as the muscle in Klump's schemes. Despite being well-meaning, Krusha's attempts to aid the Kremling Krew often end-up in disaster, causing more damage than good.
In the episode "Speed", Krusha was run over with a minecart, causing him to become highly intelligent. He then devised a diabolical plot to kill the Kongs and then claim the Crystal Coconut for himself, managing to even force K. Rool into submission. Krusha is quite evil in this newfound state of mind, considering K. Rool not ruthless enough in his schemes. Despite K. Rool giving in to Krusha and letting him lead, Krusha considers him disposable, only intending to save him upon Klump's request. However, by the end of the episode, Krusha gets run over again, once again becoming the dimwitted henchman he always was, and fortunately, everyone survives.
During the first season of the show, Krusha was voiced by Ron Rubin. In the second season, he is voiced by Frank Welker.
