'''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]].

[[File:Lockjaw DKC2.png|frame|left]]
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 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.
Lockjaws also appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' where they have the same role in-game. A Lockjaw also appears on the boxart, trailing after Diddy and Dixie.

===''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 reappear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' mainly appear in 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''===
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
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 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.
