Krusha

Krusha is a very large, muscular reptilian found in several levels of Donkey Kong Country. Krushas come in two variants - the blue, as seen here, and a silvery type. Donkey Kong is the only one who can take out Krushas by jumping on them. Diddy cannot jump or roll into Krushas - he will bounce off them if he jumps and will be pushed back and 'laughed' at by Krusha. Diddy needs a barrel to defeat a Krusha.

The silver Krushas cannot be defeated unless a barrel is thrown at them. If no barrels are to be found, simply jump over them.
