'''Kudgel''' is a large, gray and muscular [[Kremling]] and the boss of the third world, [[Krem Quay]], in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. He carries around a large, spiked wooden club as his weapon. Kudgel's name is derived from "cudgel", a word which either refers to a weapon or the action of "beating with a club." Kudgel strongly resembles [[Klubba]], though the relation between the two Kremlings is unknown. Unlike Klubba, Kudgel has gray skin instead of green, and is wearing yellow shorts. In official artwork and the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, Kudgel is wearing red shorts identical to Klubba's.
'''Kudgel''' is a large, muscular, club-wielding [[Kremling]] and a boss in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. His name is derived from "cudgel," meaning "club" or "to beat with a club."


In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Kudgel is fought in the boss level, [[Kudgel's Kontest]]. He attacks [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by jumping up then trying to land on them. When landing, Kudgel creates a brief earthquake, temporarily stunning the [[Kong]]s if they are on the ground. After jumping up then landing a few times, Kudgel stomps and a [[TNT Barrel]] falls on the arena. Kudgel can be hurt from Diddy or Dixie throwing throwing the TNT Barrel at him. However, Kudgel can block the TNT Barrel using his club if it is either thrown too close to him or when he jumps away. Kudgel moves around faster after each hit. After three hits, Kudgel begins to jump in an arc. After doing so, he stomps the ground again, causing a TNT Barrel to appear. Kudgel jumps in an arc more quickly after each hit. After being hit by a sixth TNT Barrel, Kudgel blasts away into the swamp waters, defeated. In the ending's Cast of Characters, Kudgel is classified as part of the [[Barnacled Bosses]].
Kudgel is the boss of the third area of [[Crocodile Isle]], [[Krem Quay]]. Kudgel is fought in the level "[[Kudgel's Kontest]]." Kudgel attacks [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] by leaping through the air and trying to smash down on them; his landings (which make shockwaves in the GBA version) will also stun the Kongs if they are not in midair.


Kudgel is ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''{{'}}s only boss absent from ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', because [[Kleever]] was chosen as the boss of the merged world, [[Krem Cauldron]].
Kudgel first attacks by leaping off-screen and landing where the Kongs are. After three such jumps, Kudgel will land and swing his club. He then performs a short jump that causes a [[TNT Barrel]] to appear. The TNT Barrel must be thrown at Kudgel quickly or he will jump away; if the Kongs try to throw the TNT Barrel at Kudgel after he jumps away, or get too close while carrying the TNT Barrel, he'll block the TNT Barrel with his club. Kudgel will speed up each time he gets hit by a TNT Barrel.


==Profiles==
After being hit by three TNT Barrels, Kudgel will instead jump in an arc to stomp the Kongs. These jumps are followed by a short jump that causes another TNT Barrel to appear. Every time Kudgel is hit with a TNT Barrel, he will jump increasingly lower and faster.
{{quote2|A recent recruit to the Kremling ranks, Kudgel is a mover and a shaker, using his muscle-bound bulk and his clawed club to get his points across. As guardian of Krem Quay, Kudgel must make sure any unwanted monkey are deep-sixed permanently.|''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide, page 16}}
 
After being hit by six TNT Barrels, Kudgel will be blasted into Krem Quay's swamp water.
 
Kudgel is the only boss from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' who does not reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.
