The '''Chomby''' is a shy, plant-eating dinosaur who is most happy when munching on leaves and grasses. Chombies are one of many different species that exist in Neopia. Chombies naturally come from the prehistoric land of [[Tyrannia]], although many have ventured as far as the [[Lost Desert]] and [[Faerieland]].

Chombies were released along with the discovery of Tyrannia. The first glimpse of the species came from an animation of a Chomby slowly eating away shrubbery at a cave entrace through the [[Ice Caves]].

While Chombies aren't as popular in games or plots on Neopets, the band [[Chomby and the Fungus Balls]] ([[CATFB]] for short) has given a lot of help to their popularity.

==Overview==
Chombies were first released on March 22, 2001.

==Colours==
As of March 2009, Chombies come in 42 different [[The Rainbow Pool|colours]]:
