Appearance
In K. Rool's most common appearance, he wears a red cape and a gold crown, but he is fond of adopting many other looks and costumes as well. K. Rool's skin is light green (though some appearances show it as dark green), he has a large bloodshot eye and he is usually shown with jagged teeth. K. Rool's under-belly is golden in texture and color (meant to be a piece of armor according to character designer Steve Mayles), but in DK: King of Swing his underbelly was changed to plain skin color. In Mario Super Sluggers, he didn't have a cape, but had an Egyptian/Hawaiian outfit.

At a cursory glance, K. Rool appears to be morbidly obese, with an outie belly button (which is weird, considering crocodiles hatch from eggs), lower abdominal obesity, gynecomastia. But also very muscular, as shown by his toned limbs and broad shoulders.

Taking into consideration his physique, as his body may be composed of more muscle than fat (despite his obesity), his attacks and athletic abilities from the first Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong 64, he is capable of inflicting considerable damage with physical strength alone. In DK: King of Swing K. Rool had the highest attack out of all the characters. Although he is overweight, he has enough brute strength to rival Donkey Kong and Chunky Kong.
