'''Lockjaws''' are red piranha-like fish that inhabit the waters of [[Crocodile Isle]] and [[Donkey Kong Island]]. They first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Lockjaws have an invincible purple variant, [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Snapjaw]]. | |||
''' | ==History== | ||
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''=== | |||
In their debut appearance, Lockjaws appear in most underwater levels. When [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] approach a Lockjaw, it clamps its jaws and then lunges at the lead [[Kong]] in an attempt to bite them. Lockjaws can only be defeated by [[Enguarde the Swordfish]] by stabbing them. The Lockjaws in the later levels often move faster than in earlier levels. | |||

Lockjaws also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', behaving identically as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. A Lockjaw is also shown on the game cover, trailing after Diddy and Dixie. | |||

Lockjaws reappear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'', mainly within the [[Aqua World]], and they first appear in the level [[Risky Reef]]. Lockjaws attempt to charge at [[Donkey Kong]] or Diddy Kong and bite them, and the Kongs can defeat a Lockjaw by using a charged attack. Lockjaws are the main and titular feature of [[Lockjaw Falls]], where they jump out from the waterfalls and attempt to hit Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong. Lockjaws also appear in the sequel, ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]''. | |||
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''=== | |||

Lockjaws also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as rare enemies only found on [[DK Jungle Falls]] and [[DK Jungle Sunset]]. Here they attack players by jumping out of the water and attempt to bite them. There are also electrified variants of Lockjaws. Both of them can be defeated in one hit, though the electrified Lockjaw will also significantly slow down a player unless that player was invincible. | Lockjaws also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'' as rare enemies only found on [[DK Jungle Falls]] and [[DK Jungle Sunset]].
