Magma Chomper
Group	Chompers
Roles	Foe, Summon
Appearances	Epic Battle Fantasy 5

The Magma Chomper is a foe and a summon in Epic Battle Fantasy 5. It is a member of the Chompers enemy group. They are primarily found in The Rapture and surrounding areas.

Appearance

Like all other Chompers, its main features are its giant mouth, and its singular eye stalk. This one possesses a brown and orange flower around the base of its mouth, and black tendrils on its body. It also has a red eye, and lava strings in its mouth.

Overview

The Magma Chomper is a durable foe that mainly uses single-target physical Fire attacks, but it also has access to a limited amount of support magic. It can inflict Burn, Dry, and the more debilitating Syphon with some of its attacks. The Magma Chomper also gains access to a Water attack on higher difficulties which it will intelligently use if all active players resist Fire. Being a Chomper, it can chomp on a player for high physical damage while draining their HP.

The Magma Chomper absorbs Fire and Water, but is weak to Holy, Wind, and especially Earth. It is resistant to Stun, Chill, Freeze, and Death. It is also somewhat resistant to Attack and Defence debuffs.

	It looks like it should be weak against water, but it's still a plant, and plants love water. It can drain your HP too.

    • Otherwise → Fire Spin (1/2), Ember (1/2);
  • Otherwise → Burning Root;
• Otherwise;
  • If a randomly selected foe has at least a 10% Attack buff;

The Magma Chomper was originally supposed to have a 33% chance to counter with Burning Root when Counter-Attacking Foes was enabled, but due to an oversight this counter cannot actually trigger.
