Klump (also known as Kannon) is one of the most powerful Kremlings in the Kremling Krew who serves as K. Rool's loyal right-hand man and the second-in-command of organization.[2]

Despite being a military superior, Klump is completely clumsy, always treated poorly by his leader and a commander with great loyalty.

As pirate, he wears a black pirate hat with a human skull and crossbones, two gold earrings, a black eye patch, a dark brown belt with a gold buckle, and brown pirate boots. In Donkey Kong 64, Klump is on his normal outfit, but what he wears differently is a yellow shirt. In Donkey Kong Barrel Blast, Klump wears a wooden bucket on his head and wears green pants.

Prior of the Donkey Kong Country, Klump was sent by K.

In Donkey Kong Country, Klump leads the half of the Kremling Krew to take the Donkey Kong's Banana Hoard and wait the Gangplank Galleon to leave. Klump's only defense is his helmet which is resistant to Diddy's stomping, but he proves weak when he is defeated by DK's stomp and Diddy's cartwheel.

Like other Kremling Krew members during the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest/Donkey Kong Land 2, Klump is ordered by K. Rool to dress up as a pirate of the Kremling Kuthroats' time.[7][8][9] Nicknamed as Kannon, Klump patrolled areas of Crocodile Isle to prevent Diddy and Dixie from saving the Donkey Kong who was kidnapped by his boss. Klump was considered to be the best user of this weapon as a gunner in which he shoots barrels & cannonballs (forward and downwards). Unfortunately for his disadvantage as a pirate, Klump has no head protection and can be vulnerable to Diddy & Dixie.

In Donkey Kong 64, Klump together with Kasplat and chief technician is called by K. Rool on a mission to steal the Golden Bananas and kidnap the 4 Kongs to buy time to fix the Blast-O-Matic. He can slam the Kongs with his belly and throw the unripe Grenade Oranges. He can also be seen eating his Oranges, which is comically followed by an explosion in his stomach, causing him to burp. He can be defeated by Orange Grenades, shockwaves, musical instrument power or Hunky Chunky. When is defeated, Klump spins around, makes a military salute and collapses leaving three Orange Grenades.

Quotes

Main article: List of Klump quotes

Profiles and statistics

Donkey Kong Country

  • Instruction booklet (page 29): Klump's helmet will protect him from attacks from above.
  • SNES Nintendo Player's Guide (page 13): Klump is quite a character. He's like a big, overweight drill sergeant. He's not fast — how could he be? He waddles along like a duck, blocking every ape in his path. Donkey Kong has no trouble putting Klump out of his misery, but here again, lack of size counts against Diddy as he has to hit Klump twice to off him. If Diddy jumps on Klump's head, Klump will back up and prepare for battle. Diddy can then just do a powerful cartwheel right through him.
  • GBA Nintendo Player's Guide (page 14): Klumps are the slowest Krocs, but also some of the toughest. Donkey Kong can take out the overweight Klumps with one jump. Diddy, however, has to roll into the Klumps to take them out.
Nintendo Power trading cards
AKA Sergeant Fatso. Kommander Krem
Distinguishing Features A round militant Kremling. He wears his helmet amd comat boots wherever he goes, protecting him from most weaklings.
Location He has spotted throughout Donkey Kong Island, causing chaos eveywere.
Apprehension Big apes can take out Klump with little effort, but smaller simians should use the cartwheel maneuer to best him.
Past Convictors Jay walking. Bullying with the intent to steal lunch monkey

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest

  • SNES Instruction booklet (page 29): It looks like Klump can shoot!
  • Nintendo Player's Guide (page 14): Kannon is a barrel-chested baddie who speaks softly and carries a big...well, cannon! He's got an unlimited supply of ammunition, and he's perfectly happy just standing in one place, blasting away until the Kremcows come home! He doesn't pause very often, but there's usually a pattern to his cannon fire.
  • GBA Instruction booklet (page 23): Batten down the hatches—looks like Klump’s been taking shooting lessons!

Donkey Kong 64

  • Prima Guide (page 16): If they can see you, these loyal minions won't hesitate to throw a grenade at you. If you too close, they also can throw their bellies into you. Toss an Orange toward it to get rid of a Klump. After saluting, it will leave behind three Oranges.
