Silver Chomp

The Silver Chomp is a large silver spherical enemy in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They have red eyes and very large teeth. They have many characteristics that are similar to the normal Chomp including their ability to make a dog like bark. Unlike normal chomps, silver chomps have a sense of direction and will roll towards you instead of following a straight line. Silver chomps can be found in Rolling Masterpiece galaxy, Slipsand Galaxy, and Battle Belt galaxy. In Slipsand galaxy, the silver chomp is known to break through the moving sand platform much like the magikoopas fireballs can. Silver Chomps are known to have the most appearances in Battle Belt galaxy.

Defeating Silver Chomps
You can defeat Silver Chomps by using a rainbow star, a bomb-omb, making them collide, or hitting them with a stretchy plant. Stretchy plants are very usefull for defeating the silver chomps in battle belt galaxy. Sometimes the only way to dispatch silver chomps is to knock them off the edge of a platform, notably in Rolling Masterpiece galaxy. This chomp unlocks a gold power star or realeases many star bits when defeated.
