Knockas are green lanky members of the Kremling Krew in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. They hide in green painted Barrels with menacing faces on them. They reside in the Northern Kremisphere and replace Klobbers from the previous Donkey Kong Country game, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

Klasps are Kremlings who hide in red painted TNT Barrels with a menacing face on them. They only appeared in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III. The only difference is that in Donkey Kong Land III, they always moved in a fixed pattern instead of actively seeking out prey. They first appeared in the third level of Cotton-Top Cove, Kreeping Klasps, but they were also seen in a few mountain levels, such as Krevice Kreepers and Criss Kross Cliffs.

Kuchuka is a Kremling in a purple painted Barrel with a menacing face on it that appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and is the bomb-throwing brother of Knocka, Klasp and Kracka.

Kuchukas can be defeated in one way; they can only be blown up with a TNT Barrel. It attacks Dixie and Kiddy by throwing bombs in two ways, which are 1. individually, and 2. in threes. They only appear in the level Pot Hole Panic.

These enemies reappear in Donkey Kong Land III acting the same as in the semi-sequel, but are found in more locations. They are located in the end of Stalagmite Frights and Whiplash Dash, Kuchuka Karnage, Haunted Hollows and Ghoulish Grotto, the first, second, third and sixth levels of the Lost World.
