Variants

Chomps, also named Sharks,[1] are enemies introduced in Donkey Kong Country. These tiger shark-like creatures patrol the waters of Donkey Kong Island. They have a smaller variant, Chomps Jr.

History

Donkey Kong Country

Chomps are enemies in Donkey Kong Country. Their large size has no bearing on their strength, since they both act like Bitesizes, swimming around in a slightly wavy fashion and damaging the Kongs on contact. Chomps can be defeated only from being stabbed by Enguarde.

Donkey Kong Country (comic)

Two Chomps in the Club Nintendo comic

In the Club Nintendo comic adaptation of Donkey Kong Country, two Chomps try to attack Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. They are supposedly a part of the "Chomp Police". This seems to be a self-promoted position since the other underwater creatures dislike them.

Uho'uho Donkey-kun

Chomps appear in the fourth chapter of the first volume of the Uho'uho Donkey-kun manga, where they are under the command of King K. Rool. Their appearance is different from that in the games, as they have no stripes. K. Rool rides one to discreetly follow Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they search for an underwater treasure. When they finally reach it, he reveals his presence and summons his army to defeat the Kongs and seize the treasure, including Chomps.

Donkey Kong Land

Chomps are enemies in Donkey Kong Land.[2] They take on the appearance of a Chomps Jr. in-game, but keep their normal appearance in artwork.[2] These enemies roam the submerged parts of Kremlantis and cannot be defeated, like the other underwater enemies. However, there are unused spritesMedia:Chomps - DKL Unused Death Sprite.png for defeating a Chomps.[3]

Donkey Kong Barrel Blast

Chomps are obstacles in Donkey Kong Barrel Blast. They are encountered in the underwater sections of Salty Sea, Shimmering Sea, and Open Ocean. Chomps are much bigger, though they can still be defeated from one hit. Electrified Chomps also appear on Open Ocean. Like normal Chomps, they can be defeated in one hit, but the Chomps will also electrocute a racer and make them lose their speed, unless the racer attacked it while invincible.

Unused appearances

Donkey Kong Racing

Several Chomps are seen in the trailer for Donkey Kong Racing in the background of the logo, and underwater when Tiny Kong and Diddy Kong are riding on a regular Enguarde and a purple Enguarde.
