King K. Rool
(Part 1)
Race: Anthropomorphic Crocodile
Universe: Donkey Kong/Nintendo
Voice Actor: Benedict Campbell
Appearance: An overweight, wide-girthed crocodile with green scales, easily distinguished by his oversized, bloodshot left eye and golden-plated belly. K. Rool has a long tail, three toes, and his hands have four-clawed fingers. He wears a small royal monarch crown on top of his head, a red king cape with yellow triangles at the edges, and golden arm braces. However, 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.
Personality: K. Rool, as his name, a pun on "cruel," may imply, is brutal, ruling his minions through threats and intimidation, often punishing them severely when they fail. This is mentioned by Klubba in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, who says that K. Rool mistreats his minions. This is also seen in Donkey Kong 64, when he presumably executes a purple-haired Kasplat via a giant Klaptrap for calling him "fatso", not realizing that K. Rool was listening. 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 when admitting how his wings ended up singed by the Kongs (although K. Rool seems more shocked than angry at the failure regarding the latter). He does not seem to respect his henchmen, the Kritters, much better either. Despite all of this, however, he and the Kritters have good chemistry with each other in Mario Super Sluggers and the trophy bios of Kalypso and Kludge show he respects her leadership skills and is intimidated by Kludge's temper. K. Rool is also somewhat of a dirty fighter. He fakes defeat, often collapsing in the middle of combat and making it seem like he has been defeated, only to rise seconds later and begin fighting again.
K. Rool hates the Kongs, referring to them as "filthy apes" and "monkey brains". Both Donkey Kong 64 and Super Smash Bros. Melee imply that K. Rool is somewhat insane and demented. The final battle of Donkey Kong 64 also showed him to be somewhat of showboater, constantly showing-off and making taunting gestures.
K. Rool's motivation for stealing Donkey Kong's banana hoard is somewhat mixed and hard to pick out as his psychosis makes him unpredictable and illogical at times despite being surprisingly intelligent. The most two common motivations for him is either to cause Donkey Kong to starve to death so that he can occupy Kong Island without strong opposition from him, or to simply spite the ape; sometimes both.
Bio: He is the malevolent king of the Kremlings and the main antagonist in the Donkey Kong franchise, as well as the archenemy of Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong and their allies. King K. Rool has repeatedly tried to steal the Kongs' Banana Hoard for unknown reasons, though it has been suggested that he takes the hoard in order to starve the Kongs, or to spite them as he detested bananas. He has even kidnapped members of the Kong Family on various occasions.
Intro Motion
#1: King K. Rool flies from his mechanical island lair via helicopter jet pack and lands onto the arena, sharpening his claws with a small blade of sorts seemingly without noticing his opponent approaching him. His opponent taunts/mocks him, to which K. Rool responds still sharpening his claws without glancing at him while giving his enemy the middle finger or an equivalent disrespectful hand gesture. That aggravates and pisses off K. Rool's opponent as they clearly didn't like the crocodilian tyrant casually dissing them off. They get into a battle stance, wanting to beat the stuffing out of the Kremling King, who then is done sharpening his claws.
#2: King K. Rool is in his pirate captain uniform, royally carried to the arena on a movable throne by his Kremling hench-crocs as he taunts his opponent from his throne. The opponent taunts back at him. K. Rool orders his minions to put him down, which they do so. He walks off the throne and pulls out his blunderbuss, aiming it at his enemy.
Intros
Aquaman
1st
Aquaman: You and the Kremlings are not welcome here in Atlantis, K. Rool.
King K. Rool: That's awfully nice coming from a goldfish like you.
Aquaman: Disrespect me at your own peril, reptile!
King K. Rool: I think it is you at your own peril, you poor deluded guppy.
2nd
King K. Rool: Stand aside, fish-human! Your underwater kingdom is mine to plunder!
Aquaman: You threaten Atlantis, you incur my wrath!
King K. Rool: Then this oughta change your tune after I grill you into smithereens!
Akame
1st
Akame: King K. Rool, corrupt and malicious leader of the Kremlings who calls himself as "King of the Kremlings" and employs dirty tricks to steal bananas from the Kongs to take over Kong Island.
King K. Rool: I'm quite flattered that my reputation precedes me, but that still does not win you the privilege to stand within my glorious presence. Now scram, kiddo!
Akame: Not an option. You are deemed by Night Raid guilty for your crimes against Kong Island. Therefore, you will be eliminated.
King K. Rool: Looks you will have your own crimes against the Kremling Empire to suffer for when I crush you!
2nd
King K. Rool: Gah! Assassin! Assassin!
Akame: I warned you there is no escape from Night Raid once you are our target, K. Rool.
King K. Rool: (*growl*) Do I have to do everything myself?!
Atom
1st
Atom: It's not every day I encounter a morbidly obese crocodile with delusions of grandeur.
King K. Rool: See this? This is the smallest violin and played just for you, which I find it quite fitting, considering you are a midget. (K. Rool rubs his scaly clawed fingers together.)
Atom: That was a very appalling joke and such a distasteful insult to my powers!
King K. Rool: Good, because then it makes it all the more pleasurable for me to squash you like a bug.
2nd
King K. Rool: Best that you move out of the way, tiny, or risk getting trampled by my greatness.
Atom: Ever consider trimming your 'greatness' on a microscopic level?
King K. Rool: How about…you become nothing when I blast you into oblivion with this!
Atrocitus
1st
Atrocitus: I find your rage to be highly fallible all just over a stupid horde of disgusting bananas!
King K. Rool: Oh puhl-leeeese, Atrocitus, only a hotheaded fool like you would jump the gun on my master strategy.
Atrocitus: Here's my strategy for you…burning your ugly fat sack of crap!
King K. Rool: I'd like to see you try assuming my fat sack doesn't humiliate you first!
2nd
King K. Rool: Come to grovel at my feet with your anger in check?
Atrocitus: I am not here to entertain your nonsense when you have wrath of an island against you!
King K. Rool: Becoming Donkey Kong's errand boy, haven't you?! Another meathead for me to run over then!
Bane
1st
Bane: You're way out of shape and out of touch. Step aside.
King K. Rool: Well…whoop-de-do…another hulking lunkhead to confront.
Bane: I have the blood of kings flowing through me unlike you, a pretender masquerading as a king.
King K. Rool: You're more like a nastier and dumber version of Krusha.
2nd
King K. Rool: Why don't we make a deal, you and I, Bane? Give me the Venom and I can have my island destroy Batman and his Batcave for you in a matter of seconds.
Bane: I rather have Batman cut my tubes off than to give you a sniveling lizard what is rightfully mine!
King K. Rool: Awww…I thought we could have a beautiful friendship together…only for you to crush it, you mindless baboon!
Batman
1st
Batman: Stand down, King K. Rool!
King K. Rool (mockingly imitates Batman's voice): "Stand down, King K. Rool!" What a bunch of ballyhoo coming from a crazy naked ape dressed up like a bat. (He gives Batman the middle finger while sharpening his claws.)
Batman: I am the Dark Knight of Gotham.
King K. Rool (sarcastically): Right, and I am the Emperor of Koopa Land!
2nd
King K. Rool: Go fly back to your dark cave and make way for the triumphant debut of King K. Rool!
Batman: Not happening as long as I can stop your megalomania from dragging Gotham into the mud.
King K. Rool: Oh, what a delusional, ill-informed Bat you are. I don't plan to drag Gotham through the mud…I plan to reform it with a much needed pest extermination!
Blake Belladonna
1st
Blake: I'm going to put a stop to your reign of tyranny and warmongering.
King K. Rool: Like you can ever make a difference when you can't even stand your ground when shit hits the fan.
Blake: I'm not alone because it won't just be me that will stop you!
King K. Rool: I wonder how the folks back at your pathetic tiny island home will mourn for a coward like you…NOT!
2nd
King K. Rool: If you have nothing better other than to shoot furballs at me, get off the road!
Blake: Not until you tell me where I can find my teammates.
King K. Rool: You lost? Then allow me to show you what happens to stray cats when they pester me too much.
Bizarro
1st
Bizarro: Evil fat croc king make good friend for Bizarro.
King K. Rool: Get away from me, you Super Deformed Degenerate!
Bizarro: Evil fat croc king make Bizarro sad! Me Bizarro smash your ugly snout!
King K. Rool: Behold my gloriousness, which is more than I can say for you!
2nd
King K. Rool: You are to be my punching bag…a good target practice for the real deal!
Bizarro: Me Bizarro is the real Superman! Superman is phony!
King K. Rool: Which is why you are my useful idiot until I completely beat the stuffing out of you!
Black Adam
1st
Black Adam: Kahndaq has no place for overweight fools like you, crocodile.
King K. Rool: See this? This is the smallest violin and I am playing it just for you. (K. Rool rubs his scaly fingers together, irking Adam off slightly.)
Black Adam: Your arrogance will not serve you well in these shifting sands.
King K. Rool: All I need is to pluck out an irritating speck from my eye…starting with you.
2nd
King K. Rool: Today, Kahndaq will be the lightning rod that I'll use to declare to the entire world the legitimacy of the new Kremling Regime that will soon descend upon them!
Black Adam: Your megalomania and insanity will only bring ruin to Kahndaq! I refuse to allow you to stomp on our sovereignty with impunity!
King K. Rool: You will just be the stepping stool for my ascension, Teth Adam!
Black Canary
1st
Black Canary: You're a much bigger idiot than what my son told me.
King K. Rool: And he knows how exactly? (K. Rool's bloodshot left eye twitches sporadically.)
Black Canary: You, announcing your entire plan for world domination to the entire city. Did you really think we would just sit by and let that happen?
King K. Rool: Looks like I really have some serious house-cleaning to do around here to improve my image.
2nd
King K. Rool: I am in need of a good singer for my army's morale and you happen to fit the bill, missy!
Black Canary: And pick out whatever gross meat from your teeth? No thanks!
King K. Rool: You either sing, or I'll force you to sing!
Black Lightning
1st
Black Lightning: I thought you were supposed to be bothering Donkey Kong by stealing his banana horde.
King K. Rool: Like I want to do that the rest of my life when I can expand my horizons by conquering this universe just like any reasonable villain would do!
Black Lightning: You are anything, but reasonable. And that's why I am going to short-circuit your power trip right here and now!
King K. Rool: On the contraire, I will pull the plug out of your power trip so you will be nothing but powerless to stop this croc from rocking the world!
2nd
King K. Rool: Lighten up, Black Lightning, or you might a burst a bulb from having too much negative voltage to your head! BWAHAHAHA!
Black Lightning: Psychosis and humor never mix well like a certain clown Batman knows of.
King K. Rool: Let's see how you will crack up when I'll literally leave you in stitches afterwards!
Black Manta
1st
Black Manta: I have no time to tolerate nonsense coming from an obese, maniacal crocodile.
King K. Rool: You are quite the pain in the tail to work with, given your history of incompetence in eliminating your long-hated enemy.
Black Manta: Hilarious coming from a croc who got his tail kicked by a bowtie-wearing joke of a gorilla multiple times.
King K. Rool: Now I am going to make you wish you hadn't touched that raw nerve, you cold brained fish.
2nd
King K. Rool: You had better not come up to me with cold tuna at my feet.
Black Manta: You double-crossed me! Your lizard scum of henchmen sabotaged my efforts because you knew I would find out the truth! What you had intended to do with Atlantis and me once Aquaman would have been gone!
King K. Rool: I gave you one job to kill Aquaman. Now that you have failed, your usefulness to me has officially ended!
Blue Beetle
1st
Blue Beetle: I know crocs tend to be on the bulky side, but you take that to a new level.
King K. Rool: It is not fat. This is mostly muscle and I can easily snap you like a twig like no one's business.
Blue Beetle: That is the weakest diss I've ever seen from a villain. By the way, I am not that thin.
King K. Rool: You will not be thin…you will be flattened into a bloody smear beneath my belly!
2nd
King K. Rool: Scurry along, Beetle Boy! I have more important matters to attend to than deal with a petulant child!
Blue Beetle: Scarab begs to differ.
King K. Rool: Then allow your scaliness to spank you headfirst silly into the dirt!
Brainiac
1st
Brainiac: A crocodile specimen with delusions of grandeur.
King K. Rool: Oh like how I have heard this so many times that it's not even meaningful anymore. Go bother someone else about his flaws why don't you?
Brainiac: Sarcasm does not register with my database.
King K. Rool: Maybe it will once I pummel your big head and shove it up your behind!
2nd
King K. Rool: This floating skull ship will be instrumental for the Kremling Empire's rise to dominance once I take control of the mainframe!
Brainiac: That is beyond what your reptile brain can handle, and I won't allow it even if you're capable of it.
King K. Rool: You will not deny me of my godhood when I tear it out of you with my bare claws!
Captain Cold
1st
Captain Cold: Time to put your cold-blooded ambitions on ice before they got in the way of my agenda!
King K. Rool: Oh boo hoo! Like I'm supposed to be frozen stiff in fear from basically a messed up version of Popo.
Captain Cold: The kettle calling the pot black, K. Rool.
King K. Rool: Except this kettle will smash the pot with his own bare scaly claws!
2nd
King K. Rool: Stand aside before I'll have my Kremlings run ya over, igloo punk!
Captain Cold: I have a name and that is Leonard!
King K. Rool: Well, Leonard, say hello to your dead sister for me when I grind you into lizard feed!
Catwoman
1st
Catwoman: You really need to shed off a lotta weight if you want to have any hope of saving your skin.
King K. Rool: Like I need to listen to rabble coming from a commoner dressed up like a slut.
Catwoman: For shame, that was very rude of you, even for a dictator when I was trying to give you some helpful tips.
King K. Rool: You think I'd really give a monkey's tail about your meowing? Allow me to prove you wrong!
2nd
King K. Rool: I heard you prefer to be paid profusely for your services.
Catwoman: I fetch at a very expensive price, Mr. K. Rool. So this better be worth my time.
King K. Rool: I have an offer you cannot afford to refuse.
Cheetah
1st
Cheetah: Crocodiles are slow and sluggish compared to cheetahs. You might as well let me put you out of your misery.
King K. Rool: Yeah, have you heard about the Tortoise and the Hare? (K. Rool just sharpens his claws, not even giving her a glance.)
Cheetah: How does that anything to do with this?
King K. Rool: The Hare lost the race, the Tortoise won. That means you're completely screwed opposing me!
2nd
King K. Rool: If you don't stop a while, you're bound to trip up eventually, Cheetah!
Cheetah: The goddess will guide me through this hunt!
King K. Rool: More like speeding you to your doom! Prepared to be Krushed!
Cyborg
1st
Cyborg Damn! You're like Killer Croc, but more psychotic and much wider by the waist.
King K. Rool: That pathetic Kremling wannabe is a washup. Just like you are about to be when I dismantle you. (Gives Cyborg the middle finger.)
Cyborg: That ain't gonna happen, fatass!
King K. Rool: Be careful, Victor. I have many ways of disconnecting you, figuratively and literally!
2nd
King K. Rool: Ah...this bring back memories when I was Baron K. Roolenstein, creating KAOS. My plan would have been perfect if it weren't for those meddling Kongs!
Cyborg: I have seen your work as that mad scientist. Pretty impressive...for a crocodilian maniacal dictator.
King K. Rool: Then you know what I have in store for you, my future robotic henchman.
Deadshot
1st
Deadshot: You're one fat piece of work.
King K. Rool: I get that a lot and you know what I say to those vermin. Screw off or go broke!
Deadshot: Not an option. The boss pays me good to skin your hide.
King K. Rool: Then I'll break you in half for the Kremling team!
2nd
King K. Rool: I am giving you an offer that would be too good for you to turn it down.
Deadshot: I need some assurance that this is not some trap or attempt to leech my money.
King K. Rool: Don't push my generosity to its limits, or you're about to regret it.
Gorilla Grodd
1st
Gorilla Grodd: I should have known it was you who has leaked our secrets to our enemies, sabotaging our plans and causing division within our ranks with several of my apes defecting to your side!
King K. Rool: See this, Grodd? (He rubs his scaly fingers together) This is the smallest violin and I am playing it just for you. You should have seen this coming, which is surprising given your intellect.
Gorilla Grodd: How dare you mock your master, let alone the future savior of the world!
King K. Rool: I serve only one master...and that is ME and only me alone!
2nd
King K. Rool: You could have been better off serving my growing Empire instead of climbing yourself into a deeper hole with your Society fractured and lost!
Gorilla Grodd: To serve a cold-blood like you?! It will be a cold day in hell!
King K. Rool: Ah, but you are no Donkey Kong!
Grimlock
1st
Grimlock: Me Grimlock find no pleasure in having me time wasted by pudgy, fat croc with gross tick of an eye!
King K. Rool: Treating me like chopped liver? Well, then...allow me to return the feeling, you useless toaster oven.
Grimlock: Grimlock no toaster oven! Me KING!
King K. Rool: Hah! More like the King of Bozos!
2nd
King K. Rool: Rebelling against the Kremling Empire is something I don't take lightly, Grimlock. Is it stupidity or arrogance that compels you I wonder?
Grimlock: Me Grimlock say a little bit of both to kick your tailpipe!
King K. Rool: What a shame...you could have been my perfect dino-steed to inspire fear into my enemies.
