They leave a trail of [[burning goop]] when they are angry, and have small flames on their chains.

Pianta, Super Mario Sunshine

Chain Chomplets, also referred to as Chain Chompers,[1] are young Chain Chomps (or relatives of them) owned by a female bright red Pianta at Pianta Village in Super Mario Sunshine. They behave similarly to their parent species, but they make a noise that sounds like a puppy barking. Chain Chomplets are made up of two spherical sections with a collar dividing each part, and their chains appear to be their tails; contrarily, the head is the only part of a Chain Chomp's body. Chain Chomplets are of a silver color when permanently cooled off, orange when angry, and black when temporarily calmed by a Water Barrel or FLUDD. While angry, Chain Chomplets leave a trail of burning goop and have small flames on their chains.

Chain Chomplets are the focus of Episode 1, where Mario has to calm them with water from FLUDD, since the Chain Chomplets are fevered. Once that is done, their tails can be grabbed. Releasing the tail slingshots the Chain Chomplet, hopefully into the river where they will cool off completely. If the player waits too long, the Chain Chomplets will fire back up.

Chain Chomplets gradually hop along the paths in the village and normally ignore Mario. However, if they are sprayed by FLUDD, they will lunge at him.

Chain Chomplets might be related to the Chain Chomp in Episode 4, since it must be calmed and cooled in a similar fashion. Like with the Chain Chomplets, this Chain Chomp's color changes when it is placed in a pool of water.
