Donk would have been one of the moons of Gurdamma. Donk appears to be an airless moon with a heavily cratered surface. It also appears to be a somewhat large moon due to how round it is and the relatively small size of its craters. Donk is an exomoon in the Debdeb system and would have been added to Kerbal Space Program 2 in the Interstellar Update.
Origins
Donk likely originated after an impact between Gurdamma and another planet in the Deb Deb System.
Orbit and resemblance to Earth's Moon
Donk has been referred to as an analog to Earth's own moon shortly after formation. Donk orbits within Gurdamma's rings, as both formed from the debris of the same impact. Dark regions that resemble Lunar maria exist, similar to Earth's Moon.
