chompy
Prone to nibbling
Chompy describes something or someone inclined to chomp—to bite down with enthusiasm or aggression.
It often characterizes animals with prominent teeth or a tendency to bite: Watch out, that dog gets chompy when strangers approach.
The word also appears in gaming and internet culture as a playful descriptor for creatures or characters designed to look bitey or voracious.
