'''Chomps''', also named '''Sharks''',<ref>"Sharks, croctopi and pearl-spitting clams are just a few of an apes{{sic}} not-so-favourite things!''" - ''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) issue 26 (NMS Special), page 14.</ref> are underwater shark enemies who 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 first appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''.

Chomps are enemies in ''Donkey Kong Country''. They act like [[Bitesize]]s, swimming around in a slightly wavy fashion and damaging the Kongs on contact. A Chomps can be defeated only by [[Enguarde]]. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|second remake]], a [[photograph]] of Chomps appears at the top of a blue rope in [[Slipslide Ride]].<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/r9ZgDCtZSYM?feature=shared&t=4704|title=''Donkey Kong Country'' (GBA) - 101% Longplay (No Damage)|date=March 2, 2016|author=Mariofan98 Longplays|publisher=YouTube|language=en|accessdate=December 26, 2024|timestamp=1:18:24}}</ref>

[[File:Y-Chomps.png|thumb|left|A Chomps next to the letter Y in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Game Boy Color remake]]]]
In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Chomps are encountered in three of the four underwater stages: [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], and [[Croctopus Chase]]. Although Chomps are larger than some underwater enemies, such as [[Bitesize]]s, they are as strong as them. Chomps are the slowest moving underwater enemy, although their height compensates for this 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]]'s stab attack.
 
In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, a sticker of Chomps with the "Y" letter can be printed from the [[Game Boy Printer]].

In the ''[[Club Nintendo (German 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," a supposedly self-proclaimed position considering that other underwater creatures dislike them.
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.


===''Uho'uho Donkey-kun''===
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
Chomps appear in the fourth chapter of the first volume of the ''[[Uho'uho Donkey-kun]]'' manga, where they are under the command of [[King K. Rool]]. Their appearance is different from that in the games, as they have no stripes. K. Rool rides one to discreetly follow Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they search for an underwater treasure. When they finally reach it, he reveals his presence and summons his army to defeat the Kongs and seize the treasure, including Chomps.
Chomps return in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', although they borrow the appearance of Chomps Jrs. from the previous game. This is suggested by an official [[Media:SuperDonkeyKongGB guide.jpg|''Donkey Kong Land'' guide book]] published in Japan, which lists the regular Chomps as an enemy instead of Chomps Jr.

Chomps are enemies in ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''.<ref name=guide>{{cite|title=''Super Donkey Kong GB Kōryaku Guide Book''|page={{file link|SuperDonkeyKongGB guide.jpg|9}}|publisher=[[Shogakukan]]|date=1995|language=ja}}</ref> They take on the appearance of a Chomps Jr. in-game, but keep their normal appearance in artwork.<ref name=guide/> These enemies roam the submerged parts of [[Kremlantis]] and cannot be defeated, like the other underwater enemies. However, there are {{file link|Chomps - DKL Unused Death Sprite.png|unused sprites}} for defeating a Chomps.<ref>[[tcrf:Donkey Kong Land#Chomps Jr.|TCRF article]]</ref>
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 absence from the game. Despite this, there are unused defeat sprites for Chomps in the game.<ref>[[tcrf:Donkey Kong Land#Chomps Jr.|TCRF article]]</ref>


===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
===''Donkey Kong Barrel Blast''===
Chomps are obstacles in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. They are encountered in the underwater sections of [[Salty Sea (race course)|Salty Sea]], [[Shimmering Sea]], and [[Open Ocean]]. Chomps are much bigger, though they can still be defeated from one hit. Electrified Chomps also appear 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]]. 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.
