'''Klasps''' are red [[Kremling]]s that hide in [[TNT Barrel]]s and climb across horizontal [[rope]]s. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are similar to [[Kuchuka]]s and [[Knocka]]s, two other Kremling types that also hide in barrels. Klasps are the successor to [[Kaboom]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Their name is a pun on "[[wiktionary:clasp|clasp]]", meaning to firmly hold on to something.


Klasps first appear in the [[Cotton Top Cove]] level, [[Kreeping Klasps]], in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', as the main and titular enemy. Despite this being their debut, Klasps more commonly appear in mountain levels like [[Krevice Kreepers]] and [[Criss Kross Cliffs]]. In Kreeping Klasps, the Klasps always follow a set path, and some of them move faster than others. In later levels, starting with Krevice Kreepers, the Klasps hang motionlessly until [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] pass them. Any Klasp within the Kongs' range begins to move after them, based on the direction that they move in. The Kongs must avoid Klasps because if they make contact with one, the Klasp explodes, injuring the lead Kong. Klasps cannot be defeated safely or in any other way. In [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], a Klasp is categorized under the [[Kremling Kreeps]] enemy class. In the [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Klasps have a land variant, [[Kracka]]s. While they resemble Klasps and explode like them, Krackas behave identically to Knockas. In ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Klasps do not chase after Dixie and Kiddy, unlike some in ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

==Profiles and statistics==
'''Klasps''' are agile [[Kremling]]s who hide within red [[TNT Barrel]]s. They first appear in the third level of [[Cotton-Top Cove]], [[Kreeping Klasps]], but they are also seen in a few mountain levels, such as [[Krevice Kreepers]] and [[Criss Kross Cliffs]]. The name "Klasp" derives from the word "clasp", which means to hold on to, as it describes their nature. According to the game's credits, Klasps belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

They hang from ropes, going back and forth. In Kreeping Klasps, they follow a set path, not chasing the [[Kong]]s at all. Starting in Krevice Kreepers however, they remain all the time hanging motionless. When they see the Kongs, they start to move around in an attempt to chase the apes whenever they are anywhere near their rope. The barrels they live in explode on contact, making them a dangerous obstacle to the Kongs' quest.
 
Klasps only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. The only difference is that in ''Donkey Kong Land III'', they always move in a fixed pattern instead of actively seeking out their prey.
 
Klasps can't be defeated by anything. Therefore, they should be avoided if all possible. Although, they do take themselves out when they explode.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', a ground-bound version of Klasps, named [[Kracka]]s, appear. While Krackas resemble Klasps and explode like them, they have the attack pattern of a Knocka.
