is the boss of the world Krem Quay of the Crocodile Isle, as well as the third boss in the game Donkey Kong Country 2. He is a large, muscular, club-wielding Kremling capable of making very high jumps. Kudgel's name is derived from cudgel, meaning club or to beat with a club.Kudgel is a color-swapped character model of Klubba.Kudgel and Kreepy Krow are the only bosses from the game Donkey Kong Country 2 to not reappear in the game Donkey Kong Land 2. Kudgel did not make a reappearance in Donkey Kong Land 2 due to the Game Boy's hardware limitations and how the worlds Crocodile Cauldron and Krem Quay were merged into Krem Cauldron. Kleever acts as the boss of the world Krem Cauldron, instead.In the GBA version of the game Donkey Kong Country 2, Kudgel's pants were changed from yellow to red. Also in the same game version, when landing and shaking the ground, Kudgel will create shockwave effects in the air. In some occasions, it is possible to throw the TNT Barrel at Kudgel and harm him when the boss is in the air, unlike the SNES version. Also, unlike the SNES version, even if the player loses their opportunity to throw the barrel, but they keep holding the barrel, the barrel will not break at next time Kudgel lands on the ground. However, no new TNT Barrel will drop until the current one is used.
