Template:Articleabout Template:Character-infobox General Klump (also known as Klump or Klumpy) is King K. Rool's second-command and general in the Donkey Kong Country animated series where he is one of the show's main characters.

Despite being constantly berated and disrespected by K. Rool (even being fired a few times by him), Klump remains ever faithful to him, even stating in the episode "Klump's Lumps" (which is centered around Klump being fired) that serving K. Rool is his life. Perhaps due to his loyalty (or the fact that K. Rool's other high-ranking minion, Krusha, is just too dimwitted to be organized), Klump is often put in charge of K. Rool's various plots and schemes.

Despite his tough military-man like exterior, Klump is actuality quite a softy; he actually befriends Dixie Kong and helps her find her pet lobster Thermidor in the aforementioned episode, "Klump's Lumps".

According to Klump in the episode "Speak No Evil, Dude," he is immune to illness due to the fact that he eats at least 100 garlic cloves a day.

Much of Klump's origin was revealed in the Christmas themed episode "The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights". This episode reveals that as a young boy, Klump ended up causing a huge fire which devastated the swamp where he and his family lived. Klump's older brother, revealed to be the infamous pirate and K. Rool's rival, Kaptain Skurvy, in a show of true brotherly love, decided to take the blame for Klump. This resulted in Skurvy's banishment from the home swamp. Klump only recalled vague memories of these events until Skurvy reveals everything to him.

The end of the episode reveals that Klump had planned on joining Skurvy's crew, much to the protest of King K. Rool.

Klump was voiced by the late Len Carlson, who also voiced Ganon on The Legend of Zelda cartoon series. Later in the series, Carlson was replaced by Neil Ross.
