Gorilla In A Humans Body

In Super Mario Odyssey, Chain Chomps have a circular "danger zone" around them that they will attack Mario in, which is usually indicated by the ground being a different color (light brown in the footage as opposed to the green grass that is safely outside the zone).

However, simply being inside the danger zone is not the only requirement the Chain Chomps have for attacking Mario. In addition, the camera must also be pointed toward them. In the footage, Mario has already entered the danger zone, but is not being attacked until the camera is turned around to face the Chain Chomp.

While the reason this is programmed this way is most likely to make the enemy fair to the player and to prevent Mario being unexpectedly attacked from off-screen, the result is behavior that humorously seems to suggest the Chain Chomps having animosity toward being on camera in particular.
