The Kremling Krew are the main antagonists of the Donkey Kong franchise. They are a powerful evil organization led by the barbarous King K. Rool.

With few exceptions (such as K. Lumsy), the Kremlings are all part of the Kremling Krew, and are fiercely devoted to their leader, going as far as to emulate his numerous alter egos (an example would be in Donkey Kong Country 2) and attacking the Kongs whenever they cross.

Crocodile Isle

The Kremling Krew is primarily interested in the Kong's legendary Banana Hoard, frequently stealing it whenever they invade (the most notable example being the first game). They follow their leader on all of his attempts for conquest, frequently straying out of their own home on Crocodile Isle. 

The Kremling Krew have appeared in various different media and are still recognized as the Kongs most recurring foes. However, their appearances have lessened over the years to allow other forces to antagonize the Kongs, such as the Tiki Tak Tribe and the Snowmads. But the Kremling Krew continue to be seen as their primary adversaries.

It should be noted that the Kremling Krew does not exclusively include Kremlings, but denotes nearly any major antagonistic minion or boss force found in the series.

Trivia

• They are also known as the "Kremling Army", the "Kremling Gang", and the "Kroc-Army".
• In the Donkey Kong Country instruction manual for SNES, it is stated that the Kremling Krew like bananas and stole the Kongs' Banana Hoard because of its high nutritional value. However, King K. Rool contradicts this in DK: Jungle Climber by saying that he despises bananas.
