This may be irrelevant, but if we do end up merging Chomp Shark to the Big Chain Chomp article, I think that information on the Chain Chomps in [[Jungle Hut]] from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' should also be moved to Big Chain Chomp. These Chain Chomps are mentioned in the [[Chomp Shark#Trivia|Trivia section]] of the Chomp Shark article as being very similar (like Chomp Sharks, they are enormous and cannot be defeated). On the main Chain Chomp article, [[Chain Chomp#Yoshi's Story|their section]] lists them as being called "Chomp Chomps" by ''Nintendo 64 Game Secrets, 1999 Edition: Prima's Official Strategy Guide''. This name is similar to "Giant Chomp-Chomp", one of the alternate names used for Chomp Shark. Admittedly, the ''Yoshi's Story'' Nintendo Player's Guide refers to them as "three mammoth Chomps", without any explicit reference to the name "Big Chain Chomp", but considering that these Chain Chomps are both giant and chainless like Chomp Sharks, I still feel that they would fit best under the merged Big Chain Chomp article. --[[User:ThePowerPlayer|ThePowerPlayer]] ([[User talk:ThePowerPlayer|talk]]) 21:38, August 18, 2022 (EDT)

:I'd say that might be a separate issue. What about the Chain Chomp from ''Super Mario 64''? It's also referred to as a "Big Chomp" in some material, yet it's the only size that shows up, so there's no frame of reference within the game. Unless you say that the Chomp icon from the Melon Races counts, but that's just a HUD element. [[User:LinkTheLefty|LinkTheLefty]] ([[User talk:LinkTheLefty|talk]]) 10:10, August 20, 2022 (EDT)

I do wanna say before this ends, I do generally want to keep the Yoshi ''biggu'' entities separate from the ''Kyodai/Dai/Deka/Mega/''etc ones, for the simple reason that otherwise [[Naval Piranha]], [[Hookbill the Koopa]], and [[Knot-Wing the Koopa]] would be considered interchangeable with [[Big Piranha Plant]], [[Big Koopa Troopa]], and [[Big Koopa Paratroopa]] respectively, and ''Ultimate''{{'}}s Piranha list keeps Naval Piranha and Big Piranha Plant split. ''That being said'', as LTL pointed out, the ''biggu'' unique aspect is ''usually'' transformational, which is reversed in the case of the Chain Chomps where there was none until the ''Dai/Deka'' one in NSMBW. However, YNI choosing to keep the ''biggu'' name can be seen as proof they are still intended as separate, though it could just as easily be seen as series legacy naming.
