King K Rool - DKC

This guy is to Donkey Kong what Bowser is to Mario

General Summary: King K. Rool (sometimes shortened as simply K. Rool), who has gone by many aliases, is the malevolent king of the Kremlings and the main antagonist in the Donkey Kong franchise. King K. Rool has repeatedly tried to steal the Kongs' banana hoard. It has been suggested that he takes the hoard in order to starve the Kongs, in addition to Kremlings simply liking bananas. He has even kidnapped members of the Kong Family on various occasions.

Personality Summary: K. Rool, as his name, is a pun on "cruel." Which may imply he is brutal, ruling his minions through threats and intimidation, often punishing them severely when they fail. Even his most powerful followers seem to fear his wrath, as displayed in Donkey Kong 64, when his subtle display of anger results in Army Dillo fainting on the spot, and Dogadon ends up begging for mercy over his failure. This abuse of his underlings has also worked against him. Despite all of this, however, he and the Kritters have good chemistry with each other.

Physical Description Summary: K. Rool has three clawed toes on each foot and his hands each have four clawed fingers. K. Rool debuted with a tail, though its length and presence have varied between appearances. He is portrayed with a signature bloodshot eye, usually his left eye. K. Rool's skin is light green (though some appearances show it as dark green) and he has muscular arms, as well as usually being shown with jagged teeth. King K. Rool's underbelly was originally golden in texture and color (meant to be a piece of armor according to character designer Steve Mayles). King K. Rool also has more pronounced scales. He is also distinctly larger than Donkey Kong. His cape also appears to be slightly torn up at the bottom.

In King K. Rool's most common appearance, he wears a red cape and a gold crown, but he is fond of adopting many other looks and costumes as well. When he takes on the alias of Kaptain K. Rool, he trades in the cape for a brown trench coat and the crown for a pirate hat. When he becomes Baron K. Roolenstein, he wears a white lab coat and a tall prosthetic forehead with a small black wig resembling Frankenstein's monster, and has a Propellerpack on his back.

Character Background Summary: K. Rool hates the Kongs, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong more so than the others, having referred to them as "filthy apes" and "monkey brains". Despite his hatred of the Kongs, however, he is nevertheless susceptible to being attracted to female members of the species, as evidenced by his being mesmerized by Candy Kong in Donkey Kong 64.

He has bad chemistry with all of the Kongs, , although he makes it clear that he is only teaming up with them when playing baseball, showing that he is capable of putting aside his hatred for them and will team up with them if needed. He is also seen with Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong at their house sleeping in Banjo & Kazooie's reveal trailer despite his hatred for them.
