Klaptrap

Klaptraps are Kremlings that originated in Donkey Kong Country. They were lizard-like creatures with large mouths, hence their name. They came in blue and red varieties.

Although they generally stay in the Congo Jungle, they occasionally visit the Marioverse. Klaptraps proved to be distractions in the DK Jungle field in Mario Superstar Baseball. The Klaptraps were those annoying things that would try to bite the outfielder's heels.

They also appeared in Mario Power Tennis in the Donkey Kong's course. They tried to bite you, making you slow down. The more there were the slower you moved.
