'''Chomps''' are carnivorous plant-like enemies that first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its remake, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''. They first appear in the second level of the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world, [[King of Cling]], and later in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world. Most of them  jump up and try to bite [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], taking away one [[heart]] if they reach the primates.

There are many different types of Chomps seen throughout the game. The regular and most common Chomp is a red type with spikes which tries to bite the [[Kong]]s, and can only be defeated with a [[barrel]]. 

*The '''[[Mega Chomp]]''' is a red, giant Chomp that attacks quicker, and cannot be defeated by any regular attacks. Only a barrel can ground it.
*The '''Yellow Chomp''' resembles a regular Chomp, but with a yellow "head" instead of red. It attacks similarly to the basic Chomp, but delays its attack in an attempt to throw off the Kongs' timing. Like the Mega Chomp, it can only be defeated with a barrel.
*The '''[[Shroom Chomp]]''' is green, contains four human-like teeth, and has a mushroom for a tongue, which the Kongs can bounce off. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump on the mushroom, the green Chomp will bite, and if the Chomp succeeds, the player must shake the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] and the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], depending on how the player plays the game, to get the Kongs out from the plant's jaws.
*The '''[[Spore Chomp]]''' has several holes on its body, and instead of biting Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, it will shoot deadly spores in five different directions out of these holes. These types of chomps are the weakest, since they can be defeated with either a jump, a roll, or throwing a barrel at it.
*The last type of Chomp, the '''[[Vine Chomp]]''', is a medium-sized blue Chomp that hangs on the top of the screen, and has a vine for a tongue. If the Kongs grab on the vine, the Vine Chomp will slowly try to put the tongue in its mouth to catch Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. If it successfully pulls them in, the player will have to shake the Nunchuk or Wii Remote to escape, like the Shroom Chomp. It cannot be defeated by any attack, making it the strongest Chomp in the game.

Chomps, although much more vulnerable and displaying a different appearance, are present in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. Here, they generally have a pear-shaped head dressed with crowns of leaves, and also very thick, cartoony lips that cover their teeth. The game only offers two types of Chomps:

*The '''Venus Trap Platform'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Official Game Guide</ref>, which hangs from the ceiling. Its springy stem supports the head, which stands upside down and prepares to dive down when a Kong is spotted beneath, in an attempt to devour him. Its leaf crown, however, stands as a platform whom the player can get on quickly while the plant is down; this way, the plant will lift the player to higher areas when rising back. Venus Trap Platforms can only be found in [[Mangrove Cove]], and they can only be destroyed by hurling a [[barrel]] or a [[Tuff Tuck]] at them.
*The '''{{Conjecturaltext|red Chomp}}''', whose head points upwards. It rises from a pit and munches air continuously. Its stem is covered in spikes and is untouchable, but the red Chomp's head is vulnerable not only to thrown objects, but even to [[Barrel Roll (move)|roll attacks]]. Only when its mouth is shut, the player can stomp on its head, but the enemy will not get damaged, unless [[Cranky Kong]] [[Cane Bounce|bounces with his cane]] on it. Red Chomps only show up in [[Bramble Scramble (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|Bramble Scramble]].

Chomps greatly resemble the [[Piranha Plant]]s of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. In fact, some Chomps, along with other elements from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, made it out in the [[DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle]] golf course of ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. They function not only as decorative objects, but also as hindrance for the golf ball. They are preponderantly present at Hole 6, where there is also a [[Mega Chomp]].

If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump on the mushroom, the green Chomp will bite, and if the Chomp succeeds, the player must shake the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] and the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], depending on how the player plays the game, to get the Kongs out from the plant's jaws.

-*The '''[[Ape-Eating Plant]]''' is a medium-sized blue Chomp that hangs on the top of the screen and has a vine for a tongue. If the Kongs grab on the vine, the hungry plant will slowly try to put the tongue in its mouth to catch Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. If it successfully pulls them in, the player has to shake the controller (repeatedly press {{button|3ds|x}} or {{button|3ds|y}} in the 3DS version) to escape, like with the green Chomp (although this time, a prompt does not appear to indicate this). It cannot be defeated by any attack, making it the strongest Chomp in the game.
