Kasplat

Kasplats are muscular Kremlings that appear in Donkey Kong 64. They serve as the main muscle for the Kremling Krew as King K. Rool intrusted the blueprints to them for his blaster.

Summary
There are five types of Kasplats: yellow-haired ones, red-haired ones, purple-haired ones, blue-haired ones, and green-haired ones. Each Kasplat corrasponds to the Kong with their color with yellow for Donkey Kong, red for Diddy Kong, purple for Tiny Kong, blue for Lanky Kong, and green for Chunky Kong. After defeating a Kasplat of the certain color earns the Kong a blueprint.

However, defeating a Kasplat proves a bit of a challenge. Kasplats are very durable and can take a lot of hits before going down. A Kasplat's signature technique is generating shockwaves that have great range. The best way to take down a Kasplat is to either shoot one from a distance or use a shockwave attack of their own.

Kasplats are very common in the game as they appear in every stage including DK Isles. However, they do not appear in Hideout Helm. Kasplats are often hidden or are out in plain sight.

Trivia

 * After a Kasplat has been defeated and it's blueprint has been retrieved, when one respawns, it's hair color is now white but will still generate the color shockwave.
 * Kasplats are one of the strongest enemies in the game next to the Koshas.
 * Kasplats are often confused for Krushas.
 * During a cut-scene before entering Creepy Castle, a purple-haired Kasplat apparently quit from the Kremling Krew as he was running from King K. Rool. However, before the Kasplat could escape, he was stopped by a giant Klaptrap.
