They are only seen by their head, hence their name, and can be found in swamp and [[lava]] environments, usually in groups.
Krockheads only appear as huge heads and are green and brown with different functions.
==History==
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''/''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Krocheads appear first in the level [[Hot-Head Bop]], but several of them appeared on swamp levels.<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' Instruction Booklet, Nintendo, 1996, p. 2 - "'''''INTRODUCTION:''' King K. Rool and his band of Kremlings apenapped Donkey Kong. They're demanding the Kongs to hand over the banana hoard for Donkey's safe return. Donkey Kong would have a fit if they lost the banana hoard again. So tt's up to diddy and Dixie Kong to save him. Help the two monkeys make their way through all the Kremlings and all the traps to find Donkey Kong.''"</ref> The green Krocheads were used as solid ground, they can submerge or surface, and some of them can also be summoned by [[Krockhead Barrel|their barrels]] in the level [[Krockhead Klamber]]. The brown Krocheads were used as trampolines.

*<u>'''Nintendo Player's Guide'''</u> (page 15): ''These primitive Kremlings inhabit swamps and are not quick to attack. With their springy jaws, they make great stepping stones and catapults, but be careful that they don't sink out of sight just as you're making your leap.''

==Trivia==
*Krockheads somewhat bear a resemblance to the giant crocodile named {{wp|sarcosuchus}}, due to the bulbous tip of the snout. They also resemble the {{wp|gharial}}, but the Krockhead's snout is not as thin as the gharial's.
