'''Chain Chomps''' (occasionally called '''Chain-Chomps''', as in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]) are common enemies in the [[Mushroom World]]. They first appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Chain Chomps bear a resemblance to a ball and chain and are typified by their large, tooth-filled maws and incessant biting. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]'s inspiration for the Chain Chomps was from a childhood experience: a dog once ran up to him and tried to bite him, but the dog's chain held it back.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/sep/13/games-gameculture Super Mario Bros: 25 Mario facts for the 25th anniversary] The Guardian. September 13, 20120. (Retrieved June 29, 2012)</ref> As a result, Chain Chomps also possess canine qualities, such as barking, and are commonly used as guard dogs throughout the ''Mario'' series. The presence of ancient statues of them in the [[Dry Dry Ruins]] suggests that they have been used as such for centuries. Many Chomps in the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] have been part of the [[Koopa Troop]], though a couple of them have been shown to be independent.

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', the [[Pocket Chomp]] is a [[Bros. Item]]. At first it appears to be a small Chomp in a Mario Party-like orb, but when released, it more than triples in size and chases the brothers across the screen, forcing them to [[Jump]] on any enemy in their way. Occasionally, a Chomp with a ribbon on its head appears, and it is slower than a normal one. This is likely implying it is [[Female Chomp|female]].

 

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story''====

Chain Chomps appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' as minions of Fawful, being called [[Chain Chawfuls]]. A Fawful-like sworm is found inside them, forcing them to fight for Fawful. If Bowser can swallow the sworm, then the Chain Chomp turns back to normal and run away. They also appear in the fight with [[Junker]] and Junker X when Mario or Luigi defeats a [[Junker Can]]. The Chain Chomp attempts to ram the brother that defeated the can, but it can be deflected by striking it with the hammer. Chain Chomps are also present among the smaller Piranha Plants Bowser must plow through to reach the two massive Piranha Plants at Peach's Castle. One Chain Chomp is also present outside the final station in the [[Fawful Express]] battle.

====''Mario Superstar Baseball''====

Two Chain Chomps appear in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' as an obstacle in the foul line in the [[Wario Palace]] field. There is also one that appears in the "[[Chain Chomp Sprint]]" mini-game. It sleeps in the center of the bases, and if players are still running the bases it while it is awake, it rams into them, causing them to be out for a few seconds. The Chain Chomp in Wario Palace also appears in the intro.
