They are giant silver [[Chain Chomp|Chomps]] with yellow rings around their eyes, red irises, and pupils that are constantly rolling around out of sync with each other. Unlike other Chomps, Homing Chomps always roll towards [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] and try to hit him. Homing Chomps can be defeated either by [[Rainbow Mario]], by pushing them off a cliff while on a [[Star Ball]], or from using a [[rubbery bulb]]. Usually, only one appears in any mission, but four appear together on the final planet of the [[Battle Belt Galaxy]].

An extremely large Homing Chomp appears in the E3 2009 trailer of ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'', though it [[list of Super Mario Galaxy 2 pre-release and unused content|never made it into the final game]]. In the trailer, it seems to be acting similarly to [[Sorbetti]] during the boss battle in the [[Freezy Flake Galaxy]]. Within the game's "ObjNameTable" file, there is a removed "<tt>WanwanSearchBig</tt>" entry,<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Super Mario Galaxy 2/Removed Objects|''Super Mario Galaxy 2''/Removed Objects]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|language=en|accessdate=June 6, 2022}}</ref> which is likely a remnant of this.
