'''Chain Chomps''' (occasionally called simply '''Chomps''', alternatively formatted as '''Chain-Chomps''', and alternatively called '''Chain Chompers''' early on) are common enemies in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise. Chain Chomps were not initially conceived for the ''Super Mario'' franchise, but a developer came across old concept art and decided to implement them in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Chain Chomps bear a resemblance to a ball and chain and are typified by their large, tooth-filled maws and incessant biting. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s inspiration for the Chain Chomps was from a childhood experience: a dog once ran up to him and tried to bite him, but the dog's chain held it back. As a result, Chain Chomps also possess canine qualities, such as barking, and are commonly used as guard dogs throughout the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Many Chain Chomps have been part of the [[Koopa Troop]], though a couple of them have been shown to be independent. Despite their English name, not all Chain Chomps have chains, or even chomp; many later depictions of chainless Chain Chomps have them rolling around like [[boulder]]s. {{more|Chain Chomp}}
'''[[Skewer]]s''' (also known as '''Spikes''' and '''Spike Pillars''') are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down [[Mario]] if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]'' and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.

Super Mario Maker (New Super Mario Bros. U style) Skewer

Skewers (also known as Spikes and Spike Pillars) are gray, blue, black or green metallic pillars with spikes on them, serving as major, indestructible course obstacles. They primarily appear in castle and tower levels, usually later in the game, with some exceptions. First appearing in Super Mario World, their attack patterns are moving in a single direction, either vertically or horizontally, and they can either power-down Mario if they touch him or crush him for an instant life loss. In Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2 and later titles, however, the Skewers can only power-down Mario. Unlike some other obstacles of the same manner, Mario can run through them if he is invincible or is undergoing post-damage invincibility frames.
