Although they are small, Koshas are formidable, and they wear a gray viking helmet and carry around a large, spiked club. Their name plays on the word "cosh," another name for club.

'''Koshas'''<ref>''Donkey Kong 64 Instruction Booklet'', p. 31 "... but I wouldn't stray into the path of the club-wielding Koshas if I were you, which happily I'm not."</ref>, referred to as '''Clubbies''' in the [[Prima Games]] guide<ref>Barton, Jeff, Mario De Govia, and Donato Tica. ''Donkey Kong 64'' Prima Official Game Guide. [[Media:DK64 Prima 15.jpg|Page 15]].</ref> are small Kremlings that appear only in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Unlike most [[Kremling]]s, they are brown, and also wear horned Viking-esque helmets. Also unique is their method of attack: they carry around gigantic, spiked clubs, too heavy for them to handle, which they attempt to smash the Kongs with. If the club hits any the Kongs, two melon slices are taken away from their health meter. If they swing their club overhead and misses, the Kosha struggles to lift it again for a moment.  
Koshas appear in four levels: [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] (at night), [[Crystal Caves]], and [[Creepy Castle]]. Three Koshas also appear in the lobby to Creepy Castle. They struggle to carry around their heavy club, which they try to smash the [[Kong]]s with. If the active Kong gets squished by Kosha's club, they lose two [[watermelon|melon]] slices of their health. If a Kosha swings its club overhead and misses the Kong, it struggles lifting its club for a few seconds; in this regard, they are similar to [[Kutlass]]es from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. If a Kong throws an [[orange]] at a Kosha as it notices, the Kosha will whack the orange away, rendering it ineffective.


Koshas can withstand most attacks due to their helmet. The Kongs can only defeat them by either using their instrument move, their [[Super Slam|shockwave ability]], by [[Chunky Kong]] hitting them while under the effect of [[Hunky Chunky]], or if they throw an orange at Kosha while it is off-guard. When a Kosha gets defeated, it yells as it falls, then its club hits its head.
Koshas are too powerful even for [[Chunky Kong]] to defeat; the only ways to defeat them are to use the selected Kong's instrument, their special power which they gain from the Banana Fairy Queen (the shockwave attack) or touching them while Chunky is under the effects of his [[Hunky Chunky]] ability. They are also vulnerable to [[Orange]]s if they are thrown when the Kosha is off guard. Koshas are relatively rare, and appear in [[Gloomy Galleon]], [[Fungi Forest]] (at night), [[Crystal Caves]], and [[Creepy Castle]].  


Koshas drop two melon slices when they are defeated. They are the only enemy that both requires a special move to defeat and releases melon slices from being defeated. Other enemies that can only be defeated by special move (such as [[Klump]]) release three oranges when defeated.
A gigantic Kosha is stationed in an area near the top of the cavern in Crystal Caves. Every once in a while, the club-toting fiend smashes the ceiling of the cave, creating violent tremors that send boulders and stalactite deposits raining down from the ceiling. He is eventually defeated by [[Tiny Kong]], which stops the avalanches for good.
 
Koshas have an idle animation where they accidentally drop their club onto their head, slightly flattening them.
 
A [[Giant Viking Kremling|gigantic Kosha]] is stationed near the top of Crystal Caves. It periodically smashes the ceiling of the cave, creating violent tremors that send stalactites raining down in the level. [[Tiny Kong]] must fight it to stop the stalactites from falling.

==Trivia==
*The name is a spin on the word "cosh", another name for club.
*Kosha is similar to [[Kutlass]], an enemy from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', in the sense that both are small Kremlings that wield heavy weapons many times their own size. In fact, the Game Boy Advance version gives Kutlass voice clips that are almost identical to Kosha's, but are higher-pitched.
*Kosha's idle animation will involve them accidentally dropping the club onto their own head, only slightly flattening it.
