Chompies are one of the most common monsters in Skylanders franchise. They are small, green, and not very bright creatures. They also bark and yelp like dogs. They sometimes spawn from Chompy Pods or Root Runners; by destroying these plants, the Chompies will stop appearing.

The rarest Chompy is the Purple Chompies, found only in one of the Heroic Challenges. Cali notes that Purple Chompies are not as bad as their standard green cousins, but they still attack the Skylanders.

In Skylanders: Trap Team, a Chompy and a Bone Chompy villain can be trapped.

Character Development

According to the Skylanders 10th Anniversary Livestream, Chompies were one of the earliest enemies, and were used in the initial prototype of Spyro's Kingdom in an early version of Stonetown. Unlike in the final game, they would always attempt to latch onto the playable character rather than perform a short range bite attack, similar to Crunchers.^[1]

Trivia

Chompies are the only enemies that appear in every Skylanders game.
Snap Shot hunted all the Chompies in his homeland. This makes Chompies one of only three SSA enemies to be mentioned in the backstory of a Skylander, with the others being Boom Fiends and Squidface Brutes.
They, Rotting Robbies, Goliath Drow, and Stump Demons are the only enemies in the original game to have canonically peaceful variations of themselves.
In SSA and Giants, if a Chompy Pod or Root Runner spits out a Chompy and the Chompy does not agro on Skylander due to being out of range, the Chompy will spin around in circles in the air until it lands.
In a Story Scroll called "The History of Flight", it is said that despite the Drow having claimed to have invented balloons, it was actually a Chompy who came up with the idea. The Chompy drank 200 flasks of fizzy juice, inflated to 20 times its size and floated away, burping like mad.
In Skylanders: Giants, the reflective glint in the eyes of the Chompies has been given a green filter.
In the console versions of Swap Force, the Chompies were given a more comical appearance. Their altered appearance are used again in the Nintendo 3DS version of Trap Team and SuperChargers: Racing.
In the 3DS versions of Spyro's Adventure and Giants, the Standard Chompies are blue, similar to Crunchers, instead of green. Starting with Swap Force 3DS, the Standard Chompies were green.
Chompies are good at digging as seen in Skylanders: Lost Islands.
In Iron Jaw Gulch, Standard Chompies wear pirate hats, eyepatches and hooks.
In Rainfish Riveria, regular chompies wear red bandannas and wield cutlasses.
- In the Arkeyan Crossbow Survival Arenas, they have suntan variants wearing sunglasses and floaties.
- In one of the Sheep Wreck Island Survival Arenas, they have giant versions of some different species of Chompies.
- In Chompygeddon challenges in Racing, an unfought type of Chompy can be rarely found; a large one with tiger stripes and a tail, resembling the evolved form of the Chompy villain.
In the Chunky Chompies survival arena in Skylanders: Swap Force, there is a glitch where using Dune Bug's Dune Ball abilities will cause the larger Chompies to freeze.
Although the Chompy villain and the Chompy Mage are of the Life Element in Trap Team, Chompies themselves are of the Earth Element as seen on their Skystone in Skylanders: Giants.
- Strangely, in the 3DS version of Trap Team, Chompies are apart of the Tech Element. As seen on the 'Chompy 2' Skystone.
Their singular name "Chompy" is spelled incorrectly as "Chompie" in the Skylanders Official Annual 2013.
A Chompy can be seen in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 as graffiti, resembling its Swap Force design.
A Chompy is used as the icon for the easy difficulty in the console versions of Swap Force.
Concept art reveals that Evilized Chompies were originally designed to appear in Swap Force, growing a single pink crystal that jutted out from their rears.^[2]
Although regular Chompies receive an official introduction in Skylanders: Giants at Rumbletown, the alpha versions of the game include a Chompy intro in Cutthroat Carnival,^[3] the level Armored Chompies are introduced.
In alpha versions of Giants, docile Chompies appear in Wilikin Village as test enemies. They do not attack and despawn when the player approaches, suggesting that they serve as placeholders to ensure that battle gates function properly.^[4]
An unused voiceline in Giants's alpha build refers to a "Slick Chompy". However, this Chompy never appears in the game, nor in any Skylanders game to date.^[5]
