| '''Lockjaws''' are enemies introduced in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. These red piranha-like fish inhabit the waters of [[Crocodile Isle]]. They have an invincible purple variant, [[Snapjaw (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Snapjaw]]. | |

| |
| Lockjaws are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', behaving identically between both games. 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.
| |
| | |
| There is promotional artwork of Lockjaw trailing after Diddy and Dixie in a wrecked ship setting, which was reused for ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' as the key artwork.

| |
| ===''DK'' series===
| |
| Lockjaws are enemies in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', behaving similarly in both games. Lockjaws attempt to charge at [[Donkey Kong]] or Diddy Kong and bite them, and can be defeated from a charged attack.
| |
|
| |
|
| Lockjaws are encountered primarily within the [[Aqua World]] in ''DK: King of Swing''. They first appear in the level [[Risky Reef]] and return in [[Lockjaw Falls]], the latter featuring them jumping out from the waterfalls in an attempt to hit Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong. | | 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. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
| | [[File:LockjawDKL2.PNG|frame|left]] |
| Lockjaws are obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They appear in [[DK Jungle Falls]] and [[DK Jungle Sunset]] only. 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 Land 2]]''. In the game their attack strategy is the same as the one used in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. A Lockjaw is shown on the cover of the game, attempting to attack Diddy, Dixie, and [[Glimmer the Angler Fish]]. |

| ==Profiles and statistics==

| | 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. |
