Kronk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kronk Pepikrankenitz is a fictional character from the Disney animated feature The Emperor's New Groove. He also starred in his own film, Kronk's New Groove. In both films, Kronk is voiced by Patrick Warburton.
In The Emperor's New Groove, Kronk was Yzma's henchman, and helped her turn Kuzco into a llama. He almost threw him over a waterfall, but dropped him on Pacha's cart instead of killing him, and then helped Yzma find him. At the end he has a change of heart and helps Kuzco.
In Kronk's New Groove, he is now head chef and owner of Mudka's. He likes this much better that his position with Yzma, but she eventually tricks him into helping her with a fake "youth potion" to con money out of elderly villagers. He also has a love interest, Birdwell, and a father, Papi who is voiced by John Mahoney. In The Emperor's New School episode, Clash of the Families, his father makes a return appearance this time voiced by Jeff Bennett. His other family members in Clash of the Families are his brother Krank who doesn't talk and his sister who's name wasn't revealed in this episode and also has no voice role.
In The Emperor's New School, he is Yzma's henchman again and also Kuzco's classmate. He gives Kuzco lots of potions and is his best friend (or as good a friend one can be when he's the villain's henchman). As a running gag, he can never remember that Principal Amzy is really Yzma, and as a result, usually thinks he is in trouble when Yzma calls for him.
Kronk is also a great cook who can make spinach puffs and fondue, and also has a secret recipe for foie gras. He is also capable of incredible superhuman athetics, such as running from the school to his house and back in mere seconds, climbing a mountain (While having a seat with Yzma riding tied to his body), and so on. It comes from the fact Kronk comes from a family of atheletic buff nuts.
Kronk loves to sing his own personal theme songs as he does stuff, much to the annoyance of anyone nearby.
It was revealed in the episode of The Emperor's New School Oops, All Doodles that Kronk has a talent for drawing.
He also has a devil and angel who appear on his shoulder whenever he has a change of heart. They look like Kronks dressed in angel and devil costumes. They always fight. Tipo also has a devil and angel. The angel and devil Kronk have also appeared on Kuzco's shoulders during a moral dilemna (according to them, they're freelancers).
It is unknown why Kronk was Yzma's henchman in The Emperor's New School, after quitting, or why he was even her henchman in the first place.
In The Emperor's New School Episode, Clash of the Families, it is revealed that his last name is Pepikrankenitz.
