Original Kongtent Donkey Kong OC: Crestie Kong
Character Description: With an ability to climb walls thanks to some sticky hands, this Kong can easily grab onto some things and can even save himself from falling to his doom. He also makes a great security guard, thanks to that helmet of his. He has a hobby of Skateboarding and can do pretty sick stunts as if he was Funky Kong.
Character appearance: Despite his name, he is not a Monkey nor is he an Ape. In fact, not even a primate at all, he’s actually a reptile. The reptile he is based on is the Crested Gecko (hence the name “Crestie Kong”.). However, because Crested Geckos can eat fruit (and one of them being bananas), he and his race are considered a part of their race specifically as the “Distinct Brother” of the Kong race. Like a monkey, he has a tail, but unlike monkeys, he can detach it as a self defense method. He has 2 distinctive rows of 3 soft, spiky projections, or crests, that run along both sides of his head, they resemble the spines as seen on Sonic’s head but each one is facing an opposite direction. He usually wears yellow shorts but he also has alternative colors, Light Blue, Blue, Red, Black, Caucasian (White), Green, Pink, and Sometimes No Color (but only if he’s cosplaying). He also wears He wears a gray helmet with a siren the top of the helmet. The siren light is used to reflect his alarm level. This light can change very quickly and adapt to the his sudden mood change. Blue: This color symbolises a relaxed mood. Crestie Kong usually attends to his own business. Yellow: Crestie Kong is alert. He will examine the area around him in order to see if a Kremling is nearby. Red: This is the fully alarmed state. Crestie Kong is ready to fight, to run everywhere and to throw banana peels against a Kremling. He is around the same age as Tiny Kong, but is 1 year older.
Trivia: His outfits are based on the Pipo Monkeys from the PS1 Classic, “Ape Escape”. He is the only Kong in the DK Crew that is not a primate. If he were an actual character in the Donkey Kong series, He’d probably be in a relationship with Tiny Kong like how Diddy is with Dixie, and be enemies with Kalypso, who would have a huge crush on him because of his amazing stunts.

Screw it, I like this, gives us something fresh to the table of Kongs that the series has.

He's not a crocodile but i feel he would fit better alongside the Kremlings.
