Chomp Pup

Chomp Pups, also known as Chibi Wanwan in Japan, are enemies which appear in Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are smaller and quicker versions of Chomps that can be found commonly in the Dreadnought Galaxy, the Sky Station Galaxy, the Chompworks Galaxy, and a few others. Chomp Pups have higher-pitched barks than their bigger cousins do. To defeat a Chomp Pup, use a Rainbow Star, use Co-Star Luma to stun on and have something collide with it; another tactic is to whack a nearby Bulb Tree into them. They can also be destroyed on collision with an NPC, as proven when they repeatedly collide with a hyperactive Gearmo.
==History==
Chomp Pups make their debut in Super Mario Galaxy. Mario first encounters them as he heads up the path during the second mission in the Dreadnought Galaxy. Chomp Pups later appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2, making their first appearance in the Sky Station Galaxy during the second mission on the starting planet and their second appearance in the Chompworks Galaxy, specifically on the Lava Planet. Unlike their larger Chomps, they can also roll in a circular line. Chomp Pups telegraph their path with black trails on the ground; defeating them does not remove this path.

==Names in other languages==
Chomp Pups are referred to as "Chibi Wanwan," which translates to English as "Mini Chomp," in Japanese. Their italian name, Categnolino, comes from Categnáccio, which is the Italian translation of "Chain Chomp." In German, they are called Mini-Kettenhund.
==Trivia==
*Chomp Pups are similar to Chain Chomplets from Super Mario Sunshine in the sense that they're both young varieties of Chain Chomps and both have high-pitched barks.
