Overview

Clapper the seal is an unplayable animal buddy who can cool down water when he is touched. He only appears in two levels per game; in "Lava Lagoon," he cools down the boiling-hot water so that the Kongs can safely swim in it, while in "Clapper's Cavern," he turns ordinary water into ice so that the Lockjaw monster in the water cannot reach them. There was a seal in pirate garb resembling Clapper that played a very minor role in Donkey Kong 64, but it is not known if this character really is Clapper.
