'''Krushas''' are blue-skinned, muscle-bound [[Kremlings]] that wear green camouflage. They first appeared in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Krushas (like [[Klump]]s) are very strong, and can only be defeated by [[Donkey Kong]]. If [[Diddy Kong]] attempts to attack a Krusha, the little monkey will simply bounce of the muscular Kremling. Krusha will then laugh at the puny Diddy Kong. These Kremling soldiers attack by simply walking into Donkey or Diddy Kong.


''Donkey Kong Country'' also features rare gray-skinned Krushas that wear purple camouflage. These Krushas are even stronger than Donkey Kong (and will laugh at the big ape’s pathetic attacks). Gray Krushas can only be defeated by being hit with a barrel. This variety of Krusha is only found in the last normal stage of the game. They stand on collapsing platforms, blocking the way of Donkey and Diddy. Only a single barrel is provided to defeat each Krusha; if Donkey or Diddy miss their target, they will be unable to pass Krusha and will eventually fall into the pit below.

Krushas returned in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. However, Krushas do not have a stronger form like the previous game.

All Krushas wear clothing with a camouflage pattern and also have silver arm bands on each forearm.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' an enemy similar to Krushas, called [[Kruncha]]s appear.

Of note, another type of Krusha, gray in color and wearing purple clothing, can be found in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' level "[[Platform Perils]]"; the Gray Krushas can only be defeated by having a barrel thrown at them, with any other attack doing nothing to them at all.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'' Krushas were once again replaced by a similar enemy called [[Krumple]]s. Interestingly in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the enemy named [[Knocka]], a Kremling that hides in a barrel, was mistakenly named “Krusha”.

Krusha is a hidden playable character in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Although he is not available for play in the one-player adventure, Krusha can be used in multiplayer mode.

A similar muscle-bound enemy named [[Kasplat]] also appears in ''Donkey Kong 64''. Despite their similar appearance, Krusha and Kasplat are two distinct enemies. However, Prima’s ''Donkey Kong 64'' Strategy Guide mistakenly identified Kasplat as Krusha.
