'''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.
