'''Chomps''' | '''Chomps''' are shark enemies that populate the waters of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. They resemble {{wp|tiger shark}}s and swim at moderate speed from side to side, injuring a [[Kong]] upon contact. Chomps can only be defeated by using [[Enguarde the Swordfish]]'s pouncing attack. [[Chomps Jr.|Chomp Jrs.]], relatives of Chomps, move considerably faster at the cost of being smaller and easier to avoid. | ||

Chompses first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', found in [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], and [[Croctopus Chase]]. | |||
Chompses return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', although now they borrow the appearance of Chomps Jr. This is suggested by an official [http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/jEIAAOSwzrxUskz9/s-l1600.jpg ''Donkey Kong Land'' guide book] published in Japan, which presents the regular Chomps as an enemy in the game. Here, they roam the submerged world of [[Kremlantis]], being found in [[Kremlantis Kaos]], [[Chomp's Coliseum]], and [[Nautilus Chase]]. | |||
Although Chomps don't appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest]]'', the ending for the original game features similar creatures attempting to eat [[Kaptain K. Rool]]. | |||

In the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' comic adaptation of [[Donkey Kong Country (comic)|''Donkey Kong Country'']], two Chompses 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, given that the other underwater creatures dislike them. | |||

Several Chompses 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 the Swordfish|Enguarde]] and a purple Enguarde. It is possible that Chompses were going to be one of the rideable creatures in this game seeing as another enemy species, [[Zinger]]s, were seen to be rideable. | |||

In ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', Chompses once again appear as enemies that are only found in the underwater sections of [[Salty Sea]], [[Shimmering Sea]], and [[Open Ocean]]. In this game, they are much bigger and look more intimidating than before, but they can still be defeated in one hit. Electrified Chompses are also found on Open Ocean. Like normal Chompses, they can be defeated in one hit, but the Chompses will also electrocute a racer and make them lose their speed, unless the racer attacked it while invincible. | |||
