The '''Chomby''' is a shy, plant-eating [[wikipedia:stegosaurus|stegosaurus]]-like [[Limited Edition]] Neopet 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. Another thing that ahs risen their popularity is their appearance in Tyrannian Mini Golf, a well-known game.

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

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