Kudgel

Kudgel (Japanese: グラッバ) is a large, muscular, club wielding Kremling and a boss in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Kudgel greatly resembles Klubba, and is in fact a color-swap of him. Despite this, he actually has a weakness, and more attack and moving animations.

Summary
Kudgel is found at the end of Krem Quay, in the level "Kudgel's Contest". He is defeated with TNT Barrels. Kudgel's main attack pattern is to jump, land (which causes an earthquake and will temporarily stun Diddy/Dixie if they're on the ground), and after a couple of jumps, swing his large club. The club's massive size gives him excellent range, and easily injures a Kong if they're stunned. With each TNT barrel hit, his jumps will be shorter, but his earthquakes will stay and stun longer. After a long bombardment of TNT, he will finally be defeated, flying into the background swap.

He presumably perished as he did not make a reappearance in the game's semi-sequel Donkey Kong Land 2, though this may also be due to technical limitations.

Trivia

 * Kudgel's name is derived from "cudgel", meaning "club" or "to beat with a club".
 * In the GBA Remake, Kudgel's pants change from yellow to red.
