+'''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]] by stabbing them. The Lockjaws in the later levels often move faster than in earlier levels.

+===''Donkey Kong Land 2''===
+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 are found in almost all underwater levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. If [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] or [[Dixie Kong]] swim to close to a Lockjaw it clamp it's jaws for a few seconds and then lunge at the kongs trying to take a bite out of them. Lockjaws can only be defeated with help from [[Enguarde|Enguarde the Swordfish]].
+===''DK: King of Swing'' / ''DK: Jungle Climber''===
+[[File:Lockjaw Falls DKKoS.png|thumb|A Lockjaw charging at Donkey Kong in Lockjaw Falls]]
+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]]''.
-Lockjaws also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', here their attack strategy was the same as the one used in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. A Snapjaw also appears on the cover of the game, attempting to attack Diddy, Dixie and [[Glimmer|Glimmer the Anglerfish]].
+===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
+[[File:Lockjaw DKBB.png|thumb|left|A Lockjaw in ''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.
+{{br}}
-A pink version of Lockjaw, called [[Snapjaw (fish)|Snapjaw]] appears in two of ''Donkey Kong Country 2's'' levels, Snapjaws will follow the kongs throughout these levels and they are indestructible.

-Lockjaws make a reappearance in the [[Game Boy Advance]] game, ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Here they are much weaker, capable of being defeated by simply being bashed into by [[Donkey Kong]]. Lockjaws also appeared in ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', where they simply attack [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]] and Diddy Kong by biting them.
