Chompette

The Carnivorous Plantlife of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a family of triffid creatures possessing pear-shaped heads upheld by a thorny stem. They also have crimson coloration and voluminous mouths. They can only be encountered in Bramble Scramble, a level in Bright Savannah.

Unlike the similar-looking Venus Trap Platforms, which, dangerous as they are, may prove to be helpful, carnivorous plants are completely malevolent. Their leaf crowns are ornamental and do not serve any other purpose. They pop from bramble pits and, while facing the sky, chomp the air continuously, waiting for the Kongs to drop between their jaws. This can injure the characters and take away one heart from their health counter. Nevertheless, the Kongs are able bounce on the plant safely, though without inflicting damage, when it briefly closes its mouth. Carnivorous plants can be defeated using three roll attacks, three Cane Bounces, or a projectile, such as a Tuff Tuck or a barrel.

Chomps from Donkey Kong Country Returns look and behave similarly. However, even though they attack in one place, Chomps are admittedly more aggressive, as they attempt to snatch their prey by dashing forward, instead of being completely sedentary like the carnivorous plants from Tropical Freeze.
