| ==History==
| | [[File:Y-Chomps.png|thumb|left|A Chomps next to an "Y" letter in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]].]] |
| ===''Donkey Kong Country''===
| | '''Chomps''' are aggressive [[shark|sharks]] that swim around the submerged levels of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. They resemble rather large [[wikipedia:Tiger shark|tiger sharks]] that move slow enough for [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] to catch up to it and they bite a [[Kong]] to injure them. Chomps can only be defeated by using [[Enguarde the Swordfish]]. They can be found in [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], and [[Croctopus Chase]]. |
| Chomps are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. Their large size has no bearing on their strength, since they both act like [[Bitesize]]s, swimming around in a slightly wavy fashion and damaging the Kongs on contact. Chomps can be defeated only from being stabbed by [[Enguarde]]. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Country'' (comic)===
| | In the ''[[Club Nintendo]]'' comic "[[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|Donkey Kong Country]]," two Chomps try to attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. |
| [[File:Chomps-clambo-comic.jpg|thumb|Two Chomps in the ''Club Nintendo'' comic]]
| |
| In the ''[[Club Nintendo (German magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of [[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|''Donkey Kong Country'']], two Chomps try to attack [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. They are supposedly a part of the "Chomp Police". This seems to be a self-promoted position since the other underwater creatures dislike them. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Uho'uho Donkey-kun''===
| | Several Chomps are seen in the trailer for ''[[Donkey Kong Racing]]'' in the background of the logo and underwater when [[Tiny Kong]] and Diddy Kong are riding on a regular Enguarde and a purple Enguarde. It is possible that Chomps were going to be one of the rideable creatures in this game seeing as another enemy species, [[Zinger]]s were seen to be rideable. |
| Chomps appear in the fourth chapter of the first volume of the ''[[Uho'uho Donkey-kun]]'' manga, where they are under the command of [[King K. Rool]]. Their appearance is different from that in the games, as they have no stripes. K. Rool rides one to discreetly follow Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they search for an underwater treasure. When they finally reach it, he reveals his presence and summons his army to defeat the Kongs and seize the treasure, including Chomps. | |
|
| |
|
| ===''Donkey Kong Land''===
| | In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', a shark resembling a Chomps, though more manic and vicious looking, appears in an underwater race course as an obstacle. |
| Chomps are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.<ref name=guide>{{cite|title=''Super Donkey Kong GB Kōryaku Guide Book''|page={{file link|SuperDonkeyKongGB guide.jpg|9}}|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|date=1995|language=ja}}</ref> They take on the appearance of a Chomps Jr. in-game, but keep their normal appearance in artwork.<ref name=guide/> These enemies roam the submerged parts of [[Kremlantis]] and cannot be defeated, like the other underwater enemies. However, there are {{file link|Chomps - DKL Unused Death Sprite.png|unused sprites}} for defeating a Chomps.<ref>[[tcrf:Donkey Kong Land#Chomps Jr.|TCRF article]]</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
| |
| Chomps are obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They are encountered in the underwater sections of [[Salty Sea (race course)|Salty Sea]], [[Shimmering Sea]], and [[Open Ocean]]. Chomps are much bigger, though they can still be defeated from one hit. Electrified Chomps also appear on Open Ocean. Like normal Chomps, they can be defeated in one hit, but the Chomps will also electrocute a racer and make them lose their speed, unless the racer attacked it while invincible.
