'''Chomp Sharks''', or '''Shark Chomps''', are giant sized [[Chomp]]s in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Despite their name, they are not found underwater but are found in the air. Their appearance in certain levels makes backtracking impossible, as they will often eat anything on which [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] can land. In [[Marching Milde's Fort|its first appearance]], there will be a point where a Chomp Shark chases Yoshi to a platform it cannot eat and breaks its teeth trying to eat it, thus, due to its pain, it will fall into the [[abyss]] that it has created. Aside from this, the Chomp Shark is invulnerable. Chomp Sharks also appear in [[KEEP MOVING!!!!]]
