'''Chain Chomplets''', also referred to as '''Chain Chompers''',<ref>{{cite|author=Loe, Casey|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' Perfect Guide|page=98|language=en-us|date=August 12, 2002|publisher=Versus Books|isbn=1-931886-09-1}}</ref> are young [[Chain Chomp]]s (or relatives of them) owned by a female bright red [[Pianta]] at [[Pianta Village]] in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They behave similarly to their parent species, but they make a noise that sounds like a {{wp|puppy}} barking. Chain Chomplets are made up of two spherical sections with a collar dividing each part, and their chains appear to be their tails; contrarily, the head is the only part of a Chain Chomp's body. Chain Chomplets are of a silver color when permanently cooled off, orange when angry, and black when temporarily calmed by a [[Water Barrel]] or [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]]. While angry, Chain Chomplets leave a trail of [[burning goop]] and have small flames on their chains.

Chain Chomplets are the focus of [[Chain Chomplets Unchained|Episode 1]], where [[Mario]] has to calm them with [[water]] from FLUDD, since the Chain Chomplets are fevered. Once that is done, their tails can be grabbed. Releasing the tail slingshots the Chain Chomplet, hopefully into the river where they will cool off completely. If the player waits too long, the Chain Chomplets will fire back up.

Chain Chomplets gradually hop along the paths in the village and normally ignore Mario. However, if they are sprayed by FLUDD, they will lunge at him.

Chain Chomplets might be related to the Chain Chomp in [[Chain Chomp's Bath|Episode 4]], since it must be calmed and cooled in a similar fashion. Like with the Chain Chomplets, this Chain Chomp's color changes when it is placed in a pool of water.

==Trivia==
*In ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' and ''[[Mario Golf: Advance Tour]]'', Chomplet's name can be seen in the score chart.
*The shark-like faces of the Chain Chomplets with the small lower jaw are shared with that of [[Kyankyan]] as well as {{file link|MLSS+BM Art - Chain Chomp.png|the official artwork for Chain Chomp}} in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', but not the game's sprites.
*Chain Chomplets share their Japanese name with Kyankyan, as well as [[zeldawiki:CiaoCiao|CiaoCiao]] and [[zeldawiki:ChowChow|ChowChow]], two small Chain Chomp characters who appear in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''.
