'''Chomps''' | '''Chomps''' are shark enemies that populate the waters of [[Donkey Kong Island]]. They resemble {{wp|tiger shark}}s and swim at moderate speed, biting any [[Kong]] upon contact. They have a smaller variant, known as [[Chomps Jr.|Chomps Jrs.]] | ||

Chomps first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Although Chomps are one of the larger underwater enemies, they are as strong as other underwater enemies, such as [[Bitesize]]s and Chomps Jrs. (but not including [[Croctopus]]es). Chomps are the slowest at moving underwater, but this is compensated for their height because it is easier for the Kongs hit into them. Like Bitesizes and Chomps Jrs., Chomps swim around in a slightly wavy fashion. They can only be defeated from [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]] using his stabbing attack. | |||
Chomps appear in three of the four underwater stages: [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]] and [[Croctopus Chase]]. They do not appear in the final underwater level, [[Poison Pond]]. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Color]] port, a sticker of Chomps with the "Y" letter can be printed from the [[Game Boy Printer]]. | |||

Chomps roam the submerged parts of [[Kremlantis]], being found in [[Kremlantis Kaos]], [[Chomp's Coliseum]], and [[Nautilus Chase]]. Like the other underwater enemies, Chomps cannot be defeated because of Enguarde's absense from the game. | |||

Chomps reappear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', during the underwater sections of [[Salty Sea (race course)|Salty Sea]], [[Shimmering Sea]], and [[Open Ocean]]. They are much bigger and look more intimidating than before, but can still be defeated from a single hit. Electrified Chomps are also found 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. | Chomps reappear as enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]'', during the underwater sections of [[Salty Sea (race course)|Salty Sea]], [[Shimmering Sea]], and [[Open Ocean]].

In the ''[[Club Nintendo (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, given that the other underwater creatures dislike them. | |||

*Chomps has unused sprites for being defeated in ''Donkey Kong Land'', suggesting it could have been defeated at some point during development.<ref>[[tcrf:Donkey Kong Land#Chomps Jr.|TCRF article]]</ref> | |||
*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 the Swordfish|Enguarde]] and a purple Enguarde. | |||
