Chomp

Chomp is a Triceratops and one of the leaders of the D-team

## Character design

### Personality

Chomp is very friendly, but also a very strong dinosaur, to the point where he can be considered the most powerful of the six main dinosaurs. While Chomp is usually ready to obey orders, he can sometimes be curious about what has proven to be problematic in certain situations. . But he is still an extremely loyal and respectful leader

Chomp has a habit of making friends with, rather than fighting, most of the Lightning dinosaurs. The reason for this is missing his family, which makes it easy for him to connect with other Ceratopsian dinosaurs, who are like his long-lost siblings/cousins. However, this turned out to be a disadvantage on the second encounter with Thorn, whereby Chomp did not expect that Styraco to behave hostile, even he was under the control of the Alpha Gang. However, Chomp seemed to be learning from this mistake as he later fought Comet without hesitation. Chomp only fought the Lightning dinosaurs of the Space Pirates because they were under control, so he presumably fought them out of a desire to free them from their control

### Basic information

Chomp is roughly about 7.9 to 9 meters (26 to 30 ft) in length, 2.9 to 3.0 meters (9.5 to 9.8 ft) in height, and 6.1 to 12.0 metric tons (6.7 to 13.2 short tons) in weight. The most distinctive feature is his large skull, among the largest of all land animals. approximately 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) in length when complete, and could reach almost a third of the length of the entire animal.

Like all chasmosaurines, Chomp has a large skull relative to its body size. The front of the head is equipped with a large beak in front of the teeth. The core of the top beak is formed by a special rostral bone. Behind it, the premaxillae bones are located, embayed from behind by very large circular nostrils. In chasmosaurines, the premaxillae met on their midline in a complex bone plate, the rear edge of which was reinforced by the "narial strut". From the base of this strut, a triangular process jutted out into the nostril. chomp differs from most relatives in that this process was hollowed out on the outer side. Behind the toothless premaxilla, the maxilla bore thirty-six to forty tooth positions, in which three to five teeth per position were vertically stacked. The teeth were closely appressed, forming a "dental battery" curving to the inside. The skull bore a single horn on the snout, above the nostrils. In *Triceratops*, the nose horn is sometimes recognisable as a separate ossification, the epinasal.

The skull also featured a pair of "brow" or supraorbital horns approximately 1 meter (3.3 ft) long, with one above each eye. The jugal bones pointed to below at the rear sides of the skull and were capped by separate epijugals. With *Triceratops* these were not particularly large and sometimes touched the quadratojugals. The bones of the skull roof were fused. By a folding of the frontal bones, a "double" skull roof was created. In *Triceratops*, some specimens show a fontanelle, an opening in the upper roof layer. The cavity between the layers invaded the bone cores of the brow horns.

At the rear of the skull, the outer squamosal bones and the inner parietal bones grew into a relatively short, bony frill, adorned with epoccipitals in young specimens. These were low triangular processes on the frill edge, representing separate skin ossifications or osteoderms. Typically, with *Triceratops* specimens there are two epoccipitals present on each parietal bone, with an additional central process on their border. Each squamosal bone had five processes. Most other ceratopsids had large parietal fenestrae, openings, in their frills, but those of *Triceratops* were noticeably solid, unless the genus *Torosaurus* represents mature *Triceratops* individuals. Under the frill, at the rear of the skull, a huge occipital condyle, up to 106 millimeters (4.2 in) in diameter, connected the head to the neck.

The lower jaws were elongated and met at their tips in a shared epidentary bone, the core of the toothless lower beak. In the dentary bone, the tooth battery curved to the outside to meet the battery of the upper jaw. At the rear of the lower jaw, the articular bone was exceptionally wide, matching the general width of the jaw joint. *T. horridus* can be distinguished from *T. prorsus* by having a shallower snout

## Abilities

Aside his large horns and frill, Chomp is a lightning-attributed dinosaur, meaning he has lightning based move cards to enhance his strength, speed, and agility. He is also one of the strongest of the lightning-attributed dinosaurs.

### Electric Charge:

A bolt of lightning hits Chomp from above, surging him with electricity, and he charges and rams his opponent with it!

### Lightning Strike:

Chomp charges a ball of electricity between his horns, then shoot a bolt of lightning at his opponent!

### Lightning Spear:

Chomp rams his opponent, pushing them into the air, when a burst of electricity shoots a spear of lightning through them! He sometimes uses it against opponents already airborne.

### Tag Team:

Chomp summons Pawpaw, who will defend him from his opponent's attack!

### Thunder Bazooka:

Chomp jumps into the air, then spins as lightning gathers around his body, and slams and drills into his opponent!

### Thunder Storm Bazooka (Thunder Bazooka/Cyclone Fusion Move):

Chomp and Ace charge in a line as a wind tunnel forms around them; Chomp leaps and spins like in Thunder Bazooka, gathering electricity and wind around his body before slamming and drilling into their opponent

### Plasma Anchor:

Chomp tosses an anchor of electricity to snag his opponent, then pulls them up and around through the air before slamming them into the ground.

### Gatling Spark:

Chomp gets charged with electricity, then races up and pricks his opponent with horns, jolting them with electricity faster and faster until he slams them away with a final hit!

### Thunder Driver:

Chomp rams and tosses his opponent into the air, getting charged with electricity before leaping up above them and spinning to drill them into the ground!

### Final Thunder:

Chomp slams his opponent into the ground with his tail before flinging them into the air. He hits them with a bolt of lightning from his horns before an arc of seven electricity balls form over him and become pikes that shoot off and rapid-fire hit the opponent in midair!
### Ultimate Lightning/Thunder:

While wearing DinoTector Armor, which is required, a series of lightning bolts frame Chomp's path with the final bolt stunning his opponent in place. Then, Chomp's tail armor glows and rockets him forward into his opponent, hitting them with a ball of electricity before tossing them away!
