'''Chain Chomp''' (originally known as just '''Chomp''') is a  lighter-colored female [[Chain Chomp]] that was imprisoned by [[Booster]] inside of a secret room in [[Booster Tower]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. After unlocking the entrance to the secret room, [[Bowser]] will befriend her and the Chomp will join [[Mario]]'s party as one of Bowser's weapons. She has an average attack power of ten points, with a deviation of up to four points above or below. Bowser uses her as a flail before throwing her at the enemy, with the timed hit being activated by pressing the button as she hits, causing her to bite repeatedly. Other related weapons he can use are a [[Fake Chomp]] (indicated to be the shed shell of one) as well as a spiky type called a [[Spiked Chomp]]. According to Bowser, "She says she's been locked up ever since she took a bite out of Booster."<ref>{{cite|author=MonkeyKingHero|date=November 18, 2023|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hsa0CW1dDEU|title=Booster Tower Portrait Order Puzzle Solution in Super Mario RPG Remake|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=February 27, 2025}}</ref>

In the [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|Switch remake]], she keeps her design from the original game despite enemy Chain Chomps resembling typical contemporary appearances. She now can be upgraded into the [[Wonder Chomp]] after beating [[Punchinello]] in his post game rematch.<ref>[[Punchinello#Leveled-Up Punchinello|Leveled-Up Punchinello]]</ref>
