Trivia
- In the animated series, they were never referred to as "Kremlings". Instead, they are referred by various generic names (mostly "Lizards").
- The Kremlings originate from a project Rare was developing around the same time as Donkey Kong Country and were added to the game as the development team found them to be a good fit for the art style.
- According to Rareware employee Kevin Bayliss, said project was a Battletoads game.
