'''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 are found in almost all underwater levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. If [[Diddy Kong]] or [[Dixie Kong]] swim too close to a Lockjaw, the fish clamps its 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]]. They start out attacking slow on the early levels, but they'll attack at a faster speed as the player advances through the game.

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

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.

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.

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.
