Kutlasses are enemies appearing in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest only. They are small Kremlings wield two large cutlass swords roughly the size of their body. Kutlasses have either a yellow or a green body, the latter of which has quicker movements. They wear a black vest and a pirate hat which has the Kremling Krew insignia and red feathers on the side. Artwork shows that Kutlasses have three toes on each foot. They are said to have ordered their swords from an infomercial, which looked smaller on television. Kutlasses are named after cutlass swords, but with a 'k' in place of a 'c'. If a Kutlass notices Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong, it runs toward them and tries to slash them with its swords. If the Kutlass misses the Kongs, its swords hit the ground, but it lifts its swords back up after a few seconds. Kutlasses always hold up their swords except when they attack. The Kongs take damage if they are slashed by Kutlass's swords or try to jump on Kutlass while its swords are up. A Kutlass is vulnerable to a jump attack if its swords are on the ground. A Kutlass can be defeated either from an object being thrown at it (such as a barrel or a kannonball), from a team up throw, or an attack from an Animal Friend, such as Squitter's web projectiles. In the cast roll, a Kutlass appears as part of the Kremling Kuthroats. Kutlasses have a variant named Klank, which ride Roller Coasters in the amusement park levels.

In the remake, Kutlasses and Klanks use a higher pitched edit of voice clips used by Koshas in Donkey Kong 64.
