The TVTropes Trope Finder is where you can come to ask questions like "Do we have this one?" and "What's the trope about...?" Trying to rediscover a long lost show or other medium but need a little help? Head to Media Finder and try your luck there. Want to propose a new trope? You should be over at the Trope Launch Pad.

A character in an adaptation that is based on a class/rank/species/etc. of characters in the original. In other words, in the original X is a type of Y, in the adaptation, X is a particular member of Y.
Krusha and Klump of Donkey Kong Country are based on the enemies of the same name from the game of the same name.
In the games, they are a type of enemy, a rank/species/something, the important thing is there's more than one klump, and more than 1 krusha.
In the show, General Klump and Krusha are the only klumps and krushas, and judging by how Kaptain Skurvy is General Klump's brother, it seems that in the cartoon, Klump and Krusha are just the names of the two rather than a type of Kremling.
Same thing applies to Grounder in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog.
