Purple Klaptrap

Purple Klaptraps are large versions of Klaptraps.

Purple Klaptraps are found in several areas in Donkey Kong 64, first appearing in Angry Aztec. Purple Klaptraps are so big that most attacks don't affect them at all. In fact, the Purple Klaptrap is completely immune to the Kongs' shock wave attack; using it will just hurt the Kongs, while the Purple Klaptrap is unaffected.

Fortunately, Purple Klaptraps can be defeated by blowing them up with an Orange, or by using a musical instrument. When defeated, a Purple Klaptrap will leave three Oranges behind. All of them are colored purple, but some vary in size.

Because the Purple Klaptraps are immune to all direct attacks, the skeletons of Purple Klaptraps will never leap from their bodies and attack the Kongs whenever they're defeated.
