'''Princess''' is a female [[Chain Chomp]] who appears in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. During the game, she and her owner, [[Prof. Kinopio]], go for a walk through [[Mondo Woods]] but never return. When Mario finds the professor weeping in the woods, it is revealed that Princess had escaped from her chain and ran away. After [[Mario]] and [[Huey]] reach [[Marmalade Valley]], it is implied that Princess had grown to huge proportions as a side effect of the magic [[Kamek]] had used to do the same to Mondo Woods. After escaping her destructive attack through the construction site, Mario and Huey must use the [[Cutout]] technique in [[Château Chanterelle]] and the [[Bone (Thing)|Bone Thing]] to bait her back home. She acts very similar to a rolling Chomp after growing huge.

Princess reappears when using the Bone Thing card on an enemy, where she rolls over and damages them to get the bone.

She also briefly shows up during the Toad celebration in [[Port Prisma]] after Mario collects the Yellow [[Big Paint Star]].

There are also pictures of Princess when she was smaller in the professor's house at Château Chanterelle, which show her and the professor playing. Here it is shown that Princess lacks the trapezoid-shaped connector between the chain and body, which were previously shown with Chain Chomps in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. This lack of connector would later be shared with [[Princess (Paper Mario: The Origami King)|Princess]] from ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''.

An unused sprite of Princess was found in the game's data, which design resembles that of Chain Chomps in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', as opposed to the more recent ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' or in the pictures of the younger Princess that were actually used, due to the [[Big Chain Chomp|Chomp Shark]]-like mouth with the narrower fangs. The pink bow that Princess is wearing is also shaped different compared to that of Princess in the pictures.
