Chompasauruses are capable of moving on the ground and ceilings alike.

However, if the player does not do this on time, the Kongs will end up losing hearts from their health meter as the enemy chomps on them.

Template:Species-infobox Chompasauruses[1] are carnivorous plant enemies inhabiting the Juicy Jungle in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They look very similar to the Chomps of Donkey Kong Country Returns, due to their spotted, ball-shaped heads, slit by very large mouths arranged with inconsistent rows of sharp teeth. Apart from these traits, a Chompasaurus displays a mane of blade-shaped leaves, pointing backwards, surrounding its head. Chompasauruses walk using a set of bent tentacles arranged disorderly around their short bodies.

In the game, Chompasauruses are colored in gradients of green, with their leaves and tentacles being more light-colored than the rest of their bodies. However, the concept artwork of a Chompasaurus shows it having violet coloration on its skin.

Chompasauruses are capable of moving on the ground and ceilings alike. If one of them spots the Kongs, it will open its mouth wide and stretch its long, menacing tongue in the direction the primates are. (It should be noted that Chompasauruses can only detect the heroes if they are on the same paths, or on perpendicular directions). The tongue, whose end is tucked by sharp claws, can grab the Kongs and retract with the prey inside the plant's mouth. The player can repeatedly press the ground pound buttons to make the characters punch the plant from inside and get out, defeating the enemy. However, if the player does not do this on time, the Kongs will end up losing hearts from their health meter as the enemy chomps on them.

The Kongs can also get hurt if they touch a Chompasaurus from the left, right, or bottom side without performing any attack. Ground Chompasauruses perish if the player performs three stomps on their heads, three Roll Attacks on their left or right sides, or if the player hurls a projectile (such as a barrel) into them. Chompasauruses that stick to the ceilings are unreachable with stomps or rolls and can only be defeated with a projectile.

The protagonists first interact with Chompasauruses in Fruity Factory, the third level of Juicy Jungle. Since then, the creatures begin to show up in more areas of this island. However, a single Chompasaurus makes a cameo appearance right before Fruity Factory, at the end of Reckless Ride. Here, it comes out in the background to devour the defeated Speedy Tuck, who has previously tried to hinder the Kongs with his enormous robot in the same level.
