'''Chomps''' are | '''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 appear in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] world. | ||
Most Chomps spring up and try to bite [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], causing them to lose a [[heart]]. There are a few types of Chomps, but the most common type are the '''red Chomps'''<ref>Knight, Michael. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' Prima Official Game Guide. Page 26. "''The red Chomps will always cause damage, so don't touch them at all.''"</ref>, which can only be defeated if a [[barrel]] is thrown at them. The red Chomps bite four times before they attack. Yellow variants, only referred to as '''biting Chomps'''<ref>Knight, Michael, and Alexander Musa. ''Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D'' Prima Official Game Guide. Page 26. "''The biting Chomps can only be defeated by using barrels.''"</ref> attack similarly but at longer intervals, biting eight times before it attacks instead of four. | |||
Chomps greatly resemble the [[Piranha Plant]]s of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. In fact, some Chomps, along with other elements from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, are found 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 [[giant Chomp]]. | Chomps greatly resemble the [[Piranha Plant]]s of the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise.

The [[Carnivorous Plantlife]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' share similarities with Chomps in appearance and attack pattern. These enemies have a pear-shaped head dressed with crowns of leaves, and also very thick, cartoony lips that cover their teeth. | The [[Carnivorous Plantlife]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' share similarities with Chomps in appearance and attack pattern.

*The '''[[giant Chomp]]''' is a red Chomp that attacks quicker, and cannot be defeated by any regular attacks. Like the normal-sized red Chomp, it can only be defeated with a barrel. | *The '''[[giant Chomp]]''' is a red Chomp that attacks quicker, and cannot be defeated by any regular attacks.

*The '''[[green Chomp]]''' 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 controller (repeatedly press {{button|3ds|x}} or {{button|3ds|y}} in the 3DS version) to get the Kongs out from the plant's jaws. | *The '''[[green Chomp]]''' contains four human-like teeth and has a mushroom for a tongue, which the Kongs can bounce off.

*The '''[[shooting 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 '''[[shooting 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.

*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 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. | |||
