Bivalvia is a class of two-shelled mollusks including clams, oysters, and scallops. Most of these animals are tiny and virtually harmless in Real Life. However, fiction tends to make them more dangerous, by having them snap at people with their shells. Depending on the clam's size, it may either simply bite the victim, or actually "eat" them, trapping them inside its shell. This portrayal is most likely inspired by the giant clam, Tridacna gigas. Of course, they don't actually eat people, but with their enormous size and scalloped shells giving them a somewhat sinister appearance, it sure looks like they could. As a result, many Clam Traps, if not explicitly called giant clams, will at least be modeled after them. How anthropomorphized the clams are tends to vary, too. They may be given features such as eyes on their top shell, or a tongue inside their shells; sometimes their eyes are inside their shells as well. They can also range from mindless and neutral to sentient and evil — all that matters is that they bite. In video games, expect to see them as obstacles — usually Invincible Minor Minions — in Under the Sea levels. They will usually open and close their mouths periodically, with a valuable item in their "mouth", forcing the player to swim in and grab the item before the clam shuts. Subtrope of Artistic License – Marine Biology. Not to be confused with Bear Trap, a steel, somewhat clam-shaped device used to trap bears and other land animals. Often overlaps with Perplexing Pearl Production, if a bivalve snaps at someone who tries to take its pearl, and Clamshells as Mouths if they are treated as "eating" the victims whom they bite down on. Possibly averted by Palate Propping, although technically bivalves don't have a palate. |

In the 1960s Batman series, Robin gets "eaten" by a clam just before one of the Cliff Hangers. He is eventually rescued, of course, and that night Aunt Harriet cooks clam chowder, which Batman suggests could count as a manner of revenge. | |

Escape Lala 2: A giant clam guards a cube-shaped pearl that you need in order to proceed. If you try to take the pearl, the clam will slam shut. To get the pearl, you have to exploit this trope by placing a thorny branch in the clam's mouth. When the clam slams shut, it will hurt itself on the thorns, forcing the clam to open itself, allowing you to take the pearl. | |

Happens to a deep-sea diver in the prequel tie-in novel for King Kong (2005). In this case, it's actually an oyster — an oyster the size of a dining table, in keeping with nearby Skull Island's wildlife gigantism — and the diver's foot got caught because he was walking backwards to try and avoid a Giant Enemy Crab without toppling over in his awkward hard-hat suit. | |

There's two in Freshly-Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland: oysters that give you a valuable pearl in Sunshine Seashore and vitamin plants in Deku Forest that give you forest vitamin, which is both valuable and a good medicine.

Pokémon: Shellder and Cloyster, which look like scallops and oysters respectively, can do this with the Clamp move. This was their signature move until Ruby and Sapphire introduced Clamperl, another clam mon that could learn the move. A Shellder doing this to a Slowpoke's tail is the trigger for its evolution into Slowbro. Lore-wise, anyway; in gameplay Slowpoke simply evolves at level 37. |

Some literal clamp traps can be found in the Lost City of Sugarteara breakout in Cookie Run. These traps use a large bear jelly as a lure, and if a cookie touches the bear jelly, the clamp will close on the cookie and trap them for a while. The cookie can avoid being trapped by either jumping over the jelly or sliding under it. | |

Magic: The Gathering has the Giant Oyster. It can clamp onto a tapped creature and keep it tapped (which prevents it from doing much) while also slowly killing it by putting a -1/-1 counter it each turn. It can also release the creature, which removes all -1/-1 counters from it. Presumably, the idea is that the clamped creature slowly drowns, but is able to swim back to the surface for air if released. | |

SpongeBob SquarePants: Sandy is introduced fighting a giant clam in her debut episode "Tea at the Treedome". In "Valentine's Day", Sandy is flying a hot air balloon made of chocolate when a flock of scallops tries to eat it, in an underwater variation of Balloon-Bursting Bird. In "Clams", a giant clam eats Mr. Krabs' millionth dollar. In trying to get it back, he gets eaten by it, but fights it and gets back his dollar... at the cost of the lower half of his body ("What'd you give him?" "Nothing important!"). In "No Free Rides," Mrs. Puff steals the boat Spongebob's parents got him for finally passing his boating test (only because Mrs. Puff gave him "extra credit" because she didn't want him in her class anymore). In order to lose Spongebob, she drives through a field of giant clams that snap up on Spongebob, plus a field of cheese graters, and educational television. |

Later the Doctor, Harry and Sarah are confronted by three of them, and must dramatically leap over the utterly still clams to reach safety. Referenced decades later in "The Magician's Apprentice", when a Skaro soldier contacts his superiors about "clam drones" being deployed near his position. | |

Pikmin: One of the enemies is the Pearly Clamclamp, a clam that opens its mouth when the Pikmin attack the pearl it is protecting (or in one case, the Radiation Canopy, one of the pieces of Captain Olimar's ship, the S.S. Dolphin). If the Pikmin aren't called back fast enough, the Pearly Clamclamp will close its mouth over them and eat them, even doing so after they've recovered its pearl. The pearl it guards can produce 50 Pikmin when brought back to one of the Onions. | |
