The '''Underchomp''' is a red, yellow, and blue three-headed [[Chain Chomp]], that acts as a guard dog of [[The Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is located in [[Underwhere Road]]. Beating the Underchomp is [[Dorguy the Third]]'s test.

The '''Underchomp''' is a red, blue, and yellow three-headed [[Chain Chomp]] that acts as the guard dog of [[The Underwhere]] in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. It is located in [[Underwhere Road]], and defeating the Underchomp is [[Dorguy the Third]]'s test. Despite the fact that Dorguy the Third is the one that summons it, the Underchomp's Catch Card states that all three [[Dorguy]]s have ownership of the beast. The Underchomp is based upon the legendary hellhound [[wikipedia:Cerberus|Cerberus]], a giant, three-headed dog who guarded the gates of [[wikipedia:Hades|Hades]] in Greek mythology. In one story, he was put to sleep by the music of Orpheus, which is similar to how [[Piccolo]]'s music can put the Underchomp to sleep.
[[Mario]], [[Luigi]] and [[Bowser]] face against this beast in a far different way from other enemies in the game; they fight the creature in a turn-based battle, though not in the same fashion as other ''[[Paper Mario]]'' games.


[[Mario]], [[Luigi]], and [[Bowser]] face the enemy in a far different way from other enemies in the game; they fight the creature in a turn-based battle, though it is farther from the style of other ''[[Paper Mario]]'' games, and closer to that of the ''{{wp|Dragon Quest}}'' titles and ''[[wikibound:EarthBound Beginnings|EarthBound Beginnings]]''. Its battle music is an 8-bit remix of the normal mini-boss theme.
Each head has a special ability. The Red Underchomp can breathe crimson fire, the Blue Underchomp can breathe blue fire, and the Yellow Underchomp has stinky breath. Underchomp can also charge up for one turn and attack stronger later.


The player cannot use [[Tippi]] at any point during the battle with the Underchomp, and it does not appear in the field before or after the encounter, making it the only enemy in the game (and one of the few in the ''Paper Mario'' series) that cannot be [[Tattle]]d. However, a Tattle exists in the game data.
Using Bowser and [[Thudley]] to attack the Underchomp is the most effective way to defeat the massive enemy. If the heroes found [[Piccolo]] the [[Pixl]], then it will make the battle that much easier. By using Piccolo's power, the heroes can make the Underchomp fall asleep for several turns. [[Boomer (Pixl)|Boomer]] is a great choice for damaging and defeating the Underchomp. Putting the Underchomp to sleep and using Luigi to attack it can also defeat the Underchomp, with each head taking two Super Jumps to defeat. The Underchomp will wake up after the Spring Jumps have been performed but will not attack, allowing Piccolo to be used to attack the next head. They are possible to defeat in one turn by using a [[Shooting Star (Paper Mario)|Shooting Star]]. Also effective is using [[Fleep]] to make the Underchomp dizzy.
 
==Moves==
Each head has a special ability. The Red Underchomp (left in battle) breathes crimson fire, the Blue Underchomp (middle one in battle) exhales blue fire, and the Yellow Underchomp (right one in battle) expels stinky breath. Each Underchomp can also charge up for one turn to use a stronger attack later.

==Battle==
[[File:SPM Underchomp Battle.png|thumb|left|200px|Part of the Underchomp's battle system.]]
Instead of fighting the Underchomp in the style of the game's previous bosses, the Underchomp battle is a homage to text-based, turn-based RPG battles from the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] era, specifically the first four ''{{wp|Dragon Quest}}'' titles and ''[[wikibound:EarthBound Beginnings|EarthBound Beginnings]]'', which feature battle systems that look and function similarly to the Underchomp battle.

==Battle transcript==
In the following transcript of all the battle quotes, the Underchomps, Mario, Luigi, and Bowser usually have slightly different text depending on who is attacking whom. "[the] Underchomp" and "[The player]" are used in place of the character names. In cases where an entire line is specific to a character, * indicates that it only occurs when playing as Mario, ** is for Luigi, and *** is for Bowser. A "/" indicates that the outcome of the text shown can differ, and is generally used for attacks that can be avoided. Finally, different amounts of damage can be dealt by a single attack, so "[...]" is used in place of the number value that would appear in-game.

==Trivia==
*The Underchomp is based upon the legendary hellhound [[wikipedia:Cerberus|Cerberus]], a giant, three-headed dog who guarded the gates of [[wikipedia:Hades|Hades]] in Greek mythology. In one story, he was put to sleep by the music of Orpheus, similar to the Underchomp.
*During the battle Mario, Luigi and Bowser can use their special abilities. When Mario uses flip, he dodges the attacks, when Luigi uses super jump he does a more powerful jump and when Bowser uses fire it simply heats up the metal Chomps, wasting a turn.
*This battle is a parody of general, turn-based RPGs, specifically the Japan-exclusive Famicom game ''[[Wikipedia:Mother (game)|Mother]]'', which had a battle system that looked and functioned similarly to the Underchomp battle.
*The battle music for Underchomp is an 8-bit remix of the mini-boss theme.
*When using Barry, the Underchomp will often cause 0 damage. However, the screen will say: "''Nice hit! The Underchomp takes 0 damage!''"
*When switching characters, each character will say something else. When switching to Mario, [[Tippi]] will say: "''Go, Mario!''", Bowser will say: "''Stomping time!''" and Luigi will say: ''"I'm on the job!"''
*When the player [[Game Over|dies]], each character will say something else. When Mario dies, Tippi will say: "''Mario! Noooo!''", Bowser will say: "''Not again!''" and Luigi will say: "''Bro! Forgive me...''"
