Klaptraps are usually light blue (with bright yellow stripes on their back), but they can also come in a variety of colors, such as red, green, or purple. Their name comes from "claptrap," a word meaning "nonsense," playing off the enemy's snapping bear trap-like jaws. | ||
Klaptraps resemble real world {{wp|crocodile}}s more closely than most Kremlings, as they are quadrupedal and have large pair of jaws, hence their name. They are less anthropomorphic than other Kremlings and act like pets to the [[Kremling Krew]]. [[Klampon]]s and [[Krimp]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' respectively are similar in that regard. | Klaptraps resemble real world {{wp|crocodile}}s more closely than most Kremlings, as they are quadrupedal and have large pair of jaws, hence their name.

Their expression is more vicious rather than neutral and their behavior is similar to a guard dog, wearing collars and growling like one. This makes them somewhat resemble Krimps from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', which also have a similar, vicious expression, and have also been described as dog-like Kremlings, as well as wearing a dog collar. | ||
Unlike their previous appearances, Klaptraps do not repeatedly chomp their jaws. Instead, when it sees the active Kong, it growls in a dog-like manner and chomps at them. Klaptraps can be defeated in one hit (including frontal attacks, which are ineffective in previous games); however, their set of dentures still remain and continually clamp after the Kongs. The dentures eventually break by either crashing into a wall or falling into water. If the Kongs use an [[Orange]] or their musical instrument move to defeat a Klaptrap, its teeth do not chase after it. | Unlike their previous appearances, Klaptraps do not repeatedly chomp their jaws.
