Most Chomps spring up and try to bite [[Donkey Kong]] or [[Diddy Kong]], causing them to lose a [[heart]]. There are a few types of Chomps, but the most common type are the red ones, which can only be defeated if a [[barrel]] is thrown at them.

Chomps greatly resemble the [[Piranha Plant]]s of the ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' franchise. In fact, some Chomps, along with other elements from the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, are found in the [[DK Jungle (golf course)|DK Jungle]] golf course of ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. They function not only as decorative objects, but also as hindrance for the golf ball. They are preponderantly present at Hole 6, where there is also a [[Mega Chomp]].

[[Venus Trap Platform]]s and [[Chompette]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' share similarities with Chomps in appearance and attack pattern. These enemies have a pear-shaped head dressed with crowns of leaves, and also very thick, cartoony lips that cover their teeth.

*The '''[[Mega Chomp]]''' is a red, giant Chomp that attacks quicker, and cannot be defeated by any regular attacks. Only a barrel can ground it.

*The '''Yellow Chomp''' resembles a regular Chomp, but with a yellow "head" instead of red. It attacks similarly to the basic Chomp, but delays its attack in an attempt to throw off the Kongs' timing. Like the Mega Chomp, it can only be defeated with a barrel.

*The '''[[Shroom Chomp]]''' is green, contains four human-like teeth, and has a mushroom for a tongue, which the Kongs can bounce off. If Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong jump on the mushroom, the green Chomp will bite, and if the Chomp succeeds, the player must shake the [[Wii#Nunchuk|Nunchuk]] and the [[Wii#Wii Remote|Wii Remote]], depending on how the player plays the game, to get the Kongs out from the plant's jaws.

*The '''[[Spore Chomp]]''' has several holes on its body, and instead of biting Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, it will shoot deadly spores in five different directions out of these holes. These types of chomps are the weakest, since they can be defeated with either a jump, a roll, or throwing a barrel at it.

*The last type of Chomp, the '''[[Vine Chomp]]''', is a medium-sized blue Chomp that hangs on the top of the screen, and has a vine for a tongue. If the Kongs grab on the vine, the Vine Chomp will slowly try to put the tongue in its mouth to catch Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. If it successfully pulls them in, the player will have to shake the Nunchuk or Wii Remote to escape, like the Shroom Chomp. It cannot be defeated by any attack, making it the strongest Chomp in the game.

 

Normal Chomps, Yellow Chomps and Mega Chomps have a set of cycles between attacking and waiting, each cycle is two bites, once the cycle number is over, the chomp will attack.

Normal Chomps do a total of two cycles (four bites) and then attack.

Yellow Chomps do a total of four cycles (eight bites) and then attack.
