In ''Donkey Kong Country'', Chomps are encountered in three of the four underwater stages: [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], and [[Croctopus Chase]]. Although Chomps are larger than some underwater enemies, such as [[Bitesize]]s, they are as strong as them. Chomps are the slowest moving underwater enemy, although their height compensates for this because it is easier for the Kongs hit into them. Like Bitesizes and Chomps Jrs., Chomps swim around in a slightly wavy fashion. They can only be defeated from [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]]'s stab attack. | |||
In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, a sticker of Chomps with the "Y" letter can be printed from the [[Game Boy Printer]]. | |||
