Originally, "Chomp" was used as an umbrella group including Chain Chomps, [[Incoming Chomp]]s, and [[Chomp Shark]]s, though starting with ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', the term began to inconsistently refer to chainless Chain Chomps specifically or Chain Chomps themselves. This likely stems from them being considered the same as normal Chain Chomps in Japan. | ||

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Chomps only appear in [[Jungle Hut]], World 4-1, where the [[Baby Yoshi]]s must avoid three of these enemies to collect certain fruit within one of the huts. They are enormous, being one of the largest enemies in the game, and constantly move side-to-side, chomping as they move. Each appear on a different vertical level of the hut. If one manages to hurt a Yoshi, it will turn to the screen and make a growling laugh-like sound. Despite their in-game size, their in-engine sprite size is only 42x42 pixels.{{br|left}} | |||
