Not sure if Chopper's abilities can be considered awakened. It seems that those Rumble balls of his affect his devil fruit in a manner not see elsewhere. It certainly is interesting to speculate on the similarities and differences though as well as the potential effects that they could have on others with Zoan abilities and the artificial devil fruits.
