History[edit]
Paper Mario series[edit]
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]
Red Chomps take the role ofStone Chomps from thefirst game from being the weaker counterparts of Chain Chomps inPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and itsremake. Their color is rumored to be as a result of being painted in their sleep.[1][2] The first time Red Chomps are seen is at theGlitz Pit, during Chapter 3, as members of the Major League team calledChomp Country. Their initial ranking is 2, but they eventually downgrade to Rank 3 whenMario defeats them. Several Red Chomps also appear on floors 54 and 59 of thePit of 100 Trials, invulnerable to fire attacks and having a high defense rating.
Super Paper Mario[edit]
Red Chomps are found in theCastle Bleck Interior andinner sanctum inSuper Paper Mario, in addition to being the last enemy fought in theFlipside Pit of 100 Trials before theWracktail fight, in the 98th room. Several Red Chomps hide in the basements in Chapter 8-3. Red Chomps are stronger than regular Chain Chomps, unlike the previous game. Their color is suggested to be from craving pizza sauce.[3]

| Tattle | That's a Red Chomp. It's a rabid, red, biting, chewing, chomping fool! Max HP is 6, Attack is 5, and Defense is 3. Its attacks are so powerful, we could be in a world of hurt if we don't beat it fast! ...Which is why it's really, REALLY lame that its Defense is so high. Its HP is pretty low, though, so items and special moves might just work... Just look at that color! Think someone painted it after it fell asleep at a party? | |||||||

Notes[edit]
- There have been several instances in the series where Chain Chomps bear similar appearances to Red Chomps:
- InSuper Mario Sunshine, whenChain Chomplets and the Chain Chomp have a fever, their metal bodies and chains are colored flame-red.
- When a Chain Chomp gets angry, they can change their body color red, such as inMario Power Tennis along with itsWii port andMario Party 8 minigameChain-Chomp Challenge and the extra minigameChomping Frenzy respectively, strongly resembling Red Chomps.
- When aYoshi throws a redyarn ball at aFrame Chomp inYoshi's Woolly World and its3DS port, theChomp Rock resembles a Red Chomp. Red-colored Chomp Rocks can also be found in some levels.
