Jr. Klap Trap[1], also called simply Klap Trap[2] or Jr.[3], is a character who appears in the Donkey Kong Country television series voiced by Ron Rubin[1]. Unlike other members of his species, Klap Trap is much larger, around the size of Diddy Kong. He also has dentures, usually removed by whomever he works for whenever he annoys them. After this, he complains about his hunger, though the words come out slightly slurred. In "Booty and the Beast", Klap Trap's teeth are stolen by Kaptain Skurvy, which he attempts to regain. He later encounters DK and Diddy, whom Skurvy and his crew have tied up after they stole the Crystal Coconut. After bartering with them, he sets them free and explains his predicament through a song. After that, the three of them went to find Skurvy. Eventually, they manage to track him down, and while he and his crew are battling with Diddy and DK, Klap Trap manages to reclaim his teeth. After regaining his teeth, he devours Skurvy's ship. Later, he comes across DK and Diddy on a dock. The Kongs are worried that he will attempt to bite them due to still being hungry, but he explains he is no longer hungry "for today," while winking at the audience, followed by him laughing. Klap Trap later appears in the episode "To the Moon Baboon", where he constantly bothers the other Kremlings after they remove his dentures. When K. Rool attempts to destroy the Kongs' time capsule, he returns Klap Trap's dentures and offers to have him eat Bluster's rocket. However, Diddy distracts him by feeding him some of Bluster's barrels, and K. Rool punishes him by taking away his his dentures again.
