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.

- “Can I get a little... UNDERCHOMP!”
- —Dorguy the Third, Super Paper Mario
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 Dorguys have ownership of the beast. The Underchomp is based upon the legendary hellhound Cerberus, a giant, three-headed dog who guarded the gates of 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 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 Dragon Quest titles and EarthBound Beginnings. Its battle music is an 8-bit remix of the normal mini-boss theme.
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 Tattled. However, a Tattle exists in the game data.
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[edit]
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 NES era, specifically the first four Dragon Quest titles and EarthBound Beginnings, which feature battle systems that look and function similarly to the Underchomp battle.
Battle transcript[edit]
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.
