Appearance
Instead of the normal purple head the Chomper has, the Fire Chomper's head looks to have a lava texture. Its mouth appears to be on fire.
Variant perk
The Fire Chomper's basic attack is not a bite, but he breathes out fire to harm nearby zombies instead. The fire breath itself deals ten damage continuously, and causes damage over time to the zombies at a rate of five damage per second for a few seconds after the enemy is hit. He is still able to swallow a zombie whole from behind, however.
An additional benefit to the fire breath is it bypasses additional defenses on NPC zombies such as screen doors, coffins, barrels, and even outhouses making short work of heavily defended zombies, similar to the Fume-shroom.
Primary weapon
Flame Spray is the primary weapon of the Fire Chomper. It deals ten damage continuously and five damage for every second for four seconds.
Abilities
| Left abilities | |
|---|---|
 Goop |
Hitting targets with the Chomper's ranged Goop attack is a great way to slow them down, making them easier to chomp. They taste better too! |
 Super Sticky Goop |
This goop is sooo sticky that Zombies are not even able to move when they get hit by it. Let's say it together... "Now that's Sticky!" |
 Cheesy Goop |
The Cheesy Goop in the first in Crazy Dave's new line of gourmet marinades. It's scientifically formulated to slow Zombies down and make them taste great! |
| Center abilities | |
 Burrow |
The Chomper's ultimate weapon. He has the ability to tunnel underground and ambush unsuspecting Zombies by emerging under their feet and swallowing them whole! |
 Sprint Burrow |
The Sprint Burrow allows the Chomper to move much faster when under the ground, but the range is quite limited. |
| Right abilities | |
 Spikeweed |
Laying Spikeweed traps is a great way to ambush Zombies. If they walk over the Spikeweed, they get ensnared and are easy to chomp. |
 Spiky Spikeweed |
The Spiky Spikeweed deals more damage to Zombies it ensnares, but only a few can be deployed at a time. |
 Chesterweed |
The Chesterweed attacks at an extremely fast speed, dealing up to 70 damage in 5 seconds. Chompers eating zombies trapped by the Chesterweed will swallow significantly faster, but the Chomper can only have two of them at a time, instead of three. It takes 60 seconds to recharge one Chesterweed. |

Strategies
Although Fire Chomper has a spray that allows him to fight at slightly longer range, you should still play him as you would any other Chomper. The fire affect allows you to deal lots of damage when combined with the spray's initial damage. Combining this with Goop or Spikeweed works well to stack up the damage in a hurry. In Garden Warfare 2, his character upgrades can make him a major threat to zombies. When you can, put on the Health and Fire Upgrades to improve his health and fire damage respectively.
