Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)

A Snapjaw is an invulnerable piranha-like species of fish. They resemble pink Lockjaws.

The first appearance of Snapjaws was in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. In these games, Snapjaws only appear in two levels (and only one Snapjaw per level at that), "Slime Climb" and "Clapper's Cavern".

In "Slime Climb", a Snapjaw would follow Diddy and Dixie Kong throughout the level, a half-sunken ship that was still sinking at a rapid pace. In "Clapper's Cavern", a Snapjaw would once again follow the Kongs throughout the level. In order to avoid the hungry fish in this level, the Kongs had to employ the freezing powers of their animal friend Clapper the Seal.

An enemy similar to a Snapjaw, called Nibbla, appears in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. Like a Snapjaw, a Nibbla will follow the Kongs through a level. Nibblas are also indestructible like Snapjaws.

Due to the fact that they cannot be defeated, Snapjaws should just be avoided.
