Can pre-charge weapon and safely punish the chomper after charge.
Charge attack: can be dodged by walking left or right, cannot be dodged by running towards the opposite direction. This strategy is not recommended for beginners. With some finesse, a Red Chomper can be killed with just a Board With Nails by walking backward and hitting it repeatedly with fully charged swings while evading its attacks at the same time. It is unknown at the moment if they have regular Chomper models. There are also the Musician's parents, the Half-Dead Man and the Half-Dead Woman, who turn into Red Chompers if a certain interaction isn't performed. In-game, Antek is physically identical to other Red Chompers, but has a chain leash attached to him, confining him to the Village Cellar. Breaking into the Mayor's House by force will also result in Antek's release. Once inside, the exit door is locked and Antek is released from his cell by two hostile Villagers, forcing the Protagonist to kill them all. If the Protagonist kills The Sow in the Pig Shed, he is told to go to the Mayor's House, and then enter the Village Cellar. Antek is a Red Chomper (and presumably a former Villager) encountered in The Village, which the Village Leader uses to control the other Villagers. It is the only Red Chomper found in the Dry Meadow, and likely the first Red Chomper the player will face. This variant wears a torn wedding dress and appears to be the bride. Another unique Red Chomper can also be found at the Wedding. There's also a chance it will retreat after being hit. Despite its small size, it has the same attack power as a full-sized Chomper, but easier to kill than the regular variant because of its lower attack range and health. A small Red Chomper is encountered in the Village Well.
There are multiple notable variants of the Red Chomper:
2.1 Confirmed weapon stats against Red Chompers (v1.1).When killed, Red Chompers always drop Odd Meat, and occasionally random loot such as Rags or Wires. Red Chompers are the weaker version of the "illusory" Black Chompers. These creatures are very dangerous and attack on sight, biting the protagonist for half a pip. They have a high chance of spawning near the Old Woods Hideout during the night phase to assault the Protagonist. They also frequently appear throughout The Swamp. Red Chompers can be found in a few preset locations in the Silent Forest such as the Broken Truck, and are often found roaming the Old Woods. They appear to be people that have gone through the final stage of the Plague: their heads have torn in two all the way down to their chests, forming a large mouth filled with teeth. Red Chompers are dangerous, aggressive creatures in Darkwood. For another variant of Chomper, see Black Chomper.
