Homing Chomp

Silver Chomps are a new type of Chain Chomp in the game Super Mario Galaxy 2. They resemble giant silver Incoming Chomps with red pupils and yellow lining surrounding its pupils. A single Silver Chomp first appears in the Rolling Masterpiece Galaxy. They later appear in other galaxies, such as Slipsand Galaxy. A total of four Silver Chomps later appear in the Battle Belt Galaxy on the final planet. They often appear as a miniboss who guards the star.

These enemies can only be defeated by Rainbow Mario, by pushing them off a cliff while on a Star Ball, or by the use of a Stretch Plant. What makes these enemies unique from other Chomps is that they will actually home in on Mario or Luigi.
