'''Klampons''' are blue-skinned, red-spotted, quadrupedal [[Kremling]]s that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. They are the big brothers of [[Klaptrap]]s, a similar enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and have a big head, large jaws, and bulging eyes similar to theirs. Klampons were eventually succeeded by [[Krimp]]s in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''

===''Donkey Kong'' franchise===
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' / ''Donkey Kong Land 2''====
Klampons act very similarly to Klaptraps, but are notably bigger and move slower. Klampons attack by repeatedly chomping their jaws while moving back and forth. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] cannot roll into a Klampon from the side because this injures them; they also turn around to prevent being rolled into from the back. The Kongs can defeat a Klampon by [[jump]]ing on it, throwing a [[barrel]] or [[crate]] at it, or using an [[Animal Friend]]. In addition, unlike the case with Klaptraps, the Kongs can roll into a Klampon from above, if they roll from a platform higher than a Klampon. When defeated, Klampons have the same defeated voice clips as [[Klomp]]s as well as many other Kremlings. In the Game Boy Advance version, they are simply mute when defeated.
Klampons sometimes appear alongside their functional opposite, [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spinies]], who are immune to jump attacks but are vulnerable to frontal attacks. One such example is in [[Castle Crush]], where defeating either enemy may accidentally lead the [[Kong]]s to injury from the other one.
According to the game's credits, Klampons belong to the "[[Kremling Kuthroats]]" enemy class.
====''Donkey Konga 2''====
In ''[[Donkey Konga 2]]'', Klampons make a cameo in "Freestyle Zone", where their artwork pops on-screen in response to the player hitting the [[Nintendo GameCube#DK Bongos|DK Bongos]].
===''Super Mario-kun''===
[[File:KlamponKun.png|thumb|150px|Klampon in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
A Klampon makes a brief cameo in Volume 14 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. The last part of the book has a series of comics based on ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', including a 'find the differences' activity between several enemies, including Klampon.
