'''Chain Chawfuls''' are enemies that appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and its remake, ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey]]''. They are found on [[Bowser Path]]. A Chain Chawful is a [[Chain Chomp]] controlled by a parasitic green [[Sworm]] with [[Fawful]]'s face on it.

Chain Chawfuls will charge at [[Bowser]], [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] if they spot them in the overworld; they no longer chase the Mario Bros. in the remake. Chain Chawfuls are fought alone or in pairs, and a [[Fawfulcopter]] may spawn overhead during a battle against them. A [[Blitty]] can be retrieved from one of the Chain Chawfuls.

==Battle==
Chain Chawfuls attack [[Bowser]] by charging at him repeatedly; the Sworm controlling it bobs its head multiple times before attacking, indicating the order they come in and how to counter each one. When the Sworm nods its head upward, the Chain Chomp leaps onto Bowser, who can block by withdrawing into his shell; if it bobs its head forward, the Chain Chomp lunges straight at Bowser, and he must counter with a [[punch]]. The charge attacks may [[trip]] or [[dizzy]] Bowser if they hit, and landing a counter punch on the Chain Chawful damages it and cancels the charges; in the remake, they also take damage from landing on his shell.

When facing [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] in battle, the Chain Chawful attacks in the same manner; the Sworm nods its head before attacking Mario, and bobs its head forward if attacking Luigi. The Mario Bros. must counter the attacks with their [[hammer]]s. Chain Chawfuls are fire-resistant and immune to burns, reducing damage from moves like Bowser's [[Fire Breath]]; their bodies will glow red briefly when they take fire damage.

The Sworms occasionally hide within the Chain Chomp, only resurfacing during its turn and sometimes hiding after attacking; they may also hide after taking damage. If a Sworm is hidden when the Chain Chawful takes fire damage, it will come out from hiding to avoid the heat. When not hidden, Bowser can use his [[Vacuum Block|Inhale]] ability to suck out the Sworm, which takes at least 15 {{button|ds|X}} button presses. Inhaling the Sworm returns the Chain Chomp to normal; in the original game, no [[Experience Point|EXP]] is awarded for defeating a Chain Chawful this way, but in the remake, Bowser gains 25 EXP, along with restoring 30 HP and 10 BP. Freeing a Chain Chomp of its mind control ends the battle if it is the last enemy onscreen.
