A Snapjaw is a minor video game enemy from the arcade game Donkey Kong Jr. Since then they have been sighted in other video games, nearly all of which were Mario games. They seem to have betrayed Mario, going from one of his only troops to his enemies. Falling fruit is a usual way to defeat them, and they might fear the Kongs, based on Snapjaw's frantic appearance in his cameo on the Game Boy Camera, a possible reaction to the Kong's head. They usually are depicted having a hinged mouth consisting of two sharp-toothed metal pieces, one of which is larger than the other and has eyes on it. They were probably designed to look like bear traps, going along with the 'caged-animal' theme of Donkey Kong Jr. It is proven that Snapjaws are living creatures, as in Donky kong 64 when they are hit the first time their muscels show along with their bones, no nuts or bolts or metal.
