Krusha is a type of Kremling enemy that has appeared in several games of the Donkey Kong Country series. He is known for being especially strong.

Information

The Krusha is depicted as a tall and muscular Kremling that usually wears army fatigues and sports a blond mohawk for hair. They are known for their superior physical strength, as they laugh off any attempted attacks from Kongs that are smaller and weaker. There are also grey Krushas, which are stronger than the normal variant and are resistant to even Donkey Kong's attacks. Those Krushas could only be defeated by barrels.

Appearances

Krushas primarily appeared as enemies in Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Land. They could not be hurt by Diddy's attacks and could only be hurt by Donkey Kong. Grey Krushas also appeared in two levels of Donkey Kong Country.

In Donkey Kong 64, Krusha appeared as an playable character for Multiplayer Mode and was unlocked by taking pictures of fifteen Banana Fairies. His moves and statistics were similar to Chunky Kong's in that he was a strong yet slow fighter. Krusha was armed with an orange grenade launcher.
