Lockjaw
Lockjaws are red piranha like fish that inhabit the waters of Crocodile Isle and Donkey Kong Island.
Lockjaws are found in almost all underwater levels of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. If 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 the Swordfish.
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 the Anglerfish.
A pink version of Lockjaw, called Snapjaw appears in two of Donkey Kong Country 2's levels, Snapjaw follow the kongs throughout these levels and is 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 will be making another reappearance in the upcoming Nintendo DS sequel to DK: King of Swing, DK: King of Swing DS.
