Debut: ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]]''
An obscenely rich (and fat) crocodile who lords over the Kremlings, just as Bowser does for the Koopas. K. Rool is Donkey Kong's [[Arch Enemy]] in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (video game)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, much as Bowser is to Mario. Prone to adopting new personas (Kaptain K. Rool, Baron K. Roolenstein, etc
Tropes associated with K. Rool:
* [[Acrofatic]]: Can outrun Donkey Kong and jump across the screen.
* [[Adipose Rex]]: He is clearly fat.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: He is the final boss in each game he appears in.
* [[Berserk Button]]: There was this time in the cartoon when Klump's video conference messed him up in the computer game he was playing. It angered him so much, he let out an epic [[Big No]] and smashed the computer.
* [[BFG]]: In the 2nd game.
* [[Big Bad]]: Of all the games he appears in.
* [[The Caligula]]
* [[Cold-Blooded Torture]]: {{spoiler|The first time you fight him on the Flying Krock in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', he is seen beating Donkey Kong
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: He summons a fake credits roll after it seems like you beat him, therefore making the player think the game is over and not seeing the real ending.
* [[Determinator]]: The one consistent thing between his many personas is the fact that they all take immense amounts of effort to put down, usually being multi-stage bosses. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', he goes through multiple rounds of being hammered by ''every'' Kong, and it still takes high explosives to merely get rid of him.
* [[Evil Is Hammy]]: Particularly in the cartoon.
* [[Evil Sounds Deep]]: In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.
* [[Eye Squick]]: It's so bulgy and veiny...
* [[Fat Bastard]]: He might look like a silly overgrown lizard, but he's a ruthless villain who will resort to very evil actions to get what he wants, including kidnapping ''Donkey Kong himself'' in two games and planning to destroy DK Isles in ''Donkey Kong 64''.
* [[Helicopter Pack]]:
* [[Large and In Charge]]: Among the largest Kremlings, though some of the monster bosses are huge even compared to him.
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Mad Scientist]]: In ''
* [[Pirate]]: In ''
* [[Politically-Incorrect Villain]]: In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', he attempted to essentially commit genocide against the Kongs. If the Rare commentary is anything to go by, his stealing the banana hoard may have to do with starving the Kongs.
* [[Red Eyes]]: Mainly because they're bloodshot.
* [[Stout Strength]]: K. Rool is very fat, but also ''very'' strong. Oftentimes, he's even [[Fatter Than a Speeding Bullet|faster]] than DK is!
Line 474:
Tropes associated with the Kremlings:
* [[Action Bomb]]: Kaboom, Klasp and TNT Knocka.

* [[BFG]]: Bazuka.
Line 487:

* [[Mooks]]: Of the original trilogy, ''Donkey Kong 64'' and Paon's games.
* [[Night of the Living Mooks]]: Kloak, Kackle

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Pink Krunchas and Skiddas.
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: Rockkrocs, Kloaks, Kackles, Dark Klobbers
* [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent]]: They're both the main reptiles and the main villains in most of the series, and most of them are evil.
* [[Sssssnaketalk]]: In the GBA remakes.
* [[Top-Heavy Guy]]: Krusha, Kruncha, Kudgel, Klubba
* [[Turns Red]]: Kruncha.
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: All Kremlings share the trait of having their names start with K, especially when a C would make more sense, ''[[Mortal Kombat]]'' style.
