'''Krumples''' are large blue muscular members of the [[Kremling Krew]]. They are similar to [[Krusha]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, and [[Kasplat]]s, other blue muscular [[Kremling]]s, though they are most similar to Krusha, in terms of behavior. According to the game's credits, Krumples belong to the "[[Kremling Kreeps]]" enemy class.

Krumples are first encountered in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', here they are semi-common enemies. Krumples, like most enemies, attack [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] by charging into them. Krumples are so muscular that they cannot be defeated by Kiddy's rolling attack, and they cannot be hurt at all by Dixie. They laugh and taunt the [[Kong]]s when they unsuccessfully try to hit them. However, certain [[Animal Friends]], a throwable weapon (such as a [[barrel]]), or Kiddy's jump attack can defeat a Krumple, similar to how [[Donkey Kong]] is able to defeat the blue Krushas in the first game. Krumples can also be defeated by Kiddy rolling onto them from above, like [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s. Krumples usually appear in cave levels or waterfall levels.

Krumples are large, blue, and muscular members of the Kremling Krew who appear in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. They have a similar appearance and role to Krushas and Krunchas from the two respective previous installments. A Krumple appears on the box art of both games that it appears in.

History

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Krumples only appear in a few levels of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: two are set around a waterfall and one is inside a cavern.

Like most enemies, Krumples attack Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong by simply moving into them. They can be defeated by a barrel or Kiddy jumping on them (just like how Donkey Kong can defeat blue Krushas from a jump attack in Donkey Kong Country but not Diddy). In Creepy Caverns, Krumples can be defeated by Squitter the Spider's web projects. They are unaffected by Kiddy's roll (unless he performs it from above) or any direct attack from Dixie (including jumping). If the Kongs are unsuccessful at attacking Krumple, it laughs them off.

In Dixie Kong's Photo Album, a Krumple photograph appears under the Kremling Kreeps category.

In the Game Boy Advance version, Krumples also appear in a pipeline level. In the same version, its sound effects are recycled from Krunchas in Donkey Kong Country 2's Game Boy Advance version.

Levels:

Donkey Kong Land III

In Donkey Kong Land III, Krumples act the same as in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They appear in much more levels than the previous game.
