Red Chomp
Template:Pmenemybox Red Chomps, as their name implies, are red-colored sub-species of Chain Chomps introduced in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. Though in that game they are weaker than their black counterparts, they have the same attack pattern as regular Chomps: they lunge at their opponents in order to bite them. Red Chomps are first seen in the Glitz Pit, during Chapter 3, as members of the Major League team called Chomp Country. Their initial ranking is 2, but they eventually downgrade to Rank 3 after Mario's victory over Rawk Hawk. Several Red Chomps can also be found in the Pit of 100 Trials, on floors 54 and 59. These enemies are immune to fire attacks and they have a high defense rating.
A Red Chomp appears in Mario Party 7, in Pyramid Park. For 10 coins, it will let a player use three Dice Blocks and ride on it, moving that many spaces around the board. If the Red Chomp manages to ram another player, a star is stolen from the victim and given to the player riding the Chomp.

Red Chomps' latest appearance was in Super Paper Mario. These enemies are found in Castle Bleck Interior and inner sanctum. In Chapter 8-3, several Red Chomps are hiding in the basements. Unlike in the previous Paper Mario game, Red Chomps are actually stronger than regular Chain Chomps.

Trivia
- There is a red Chomp (shown in the image to the right) that appears in a souvenir "Reel-to-Reel" from WarioWare: Touched!.
- In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Goombella suggest that Red Chomps are actually Chain Chomps that were painted red while they were sleeping. However, this is an unconfirmed rumor.
- In Super Paper Mario, Tippi mentions that the Red Chomp likes pizza sauce. This could be a joke on the fact that the Chain-Chomp's appearance is like Pac-Man, who was based on a pizza. It could also be a joke on its red coloring - the same color as pizza sauce.
- Oddly, in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Red Chomps are weaker then regular Chain Chomps, while in Super Paper Mario, the exact opposite is true.
