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. 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 inspired Piccolo's music putting 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. Its battle music is an 8-bit remix of the normal mini-boss theme.

Each head has a special ability. The Red Underchomp breathes crimson fire, the Blue Underchomp breathes blue fire, and the Yellow Underchomp has stinky breath. Each Underchomp can also charge up for one turn and attack stronger later.

==Battle==
[[Image:Underchomp-battle.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Part of the Underchomp's battle system.]]
Instead of battling the Underchomp in the style of the game's previous bosses, the Underchomp battle is a parody of text-based, turn-based RPG battles, specifically the Japan-exclusive Famicom game ''[[wikibound:Mother (video game)|MOTHER]]'', which has a battle system that looks and functions similarly to the Underchomp battle.

In the following transcript of all the battle quotes, "[the] Underchomp" is used in place of "Red Underchomp", "Yellow Underchomp" or "Blue Underchomp" (the name used in the game depends on which head is involved in that particular attack). Similarly, "[The player]" is used in place of "Mario", "Luigi" or "Bowser" (the name used in the game depends on which character the player is using at the time). 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 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 battle - this makes it one of the only enemy in the game (and one of the few in the ''Paper Mario'' series) that cannot be [[Tattle]]d.
