The '''Chomby''' is a shy, plant-eating [[Limited Edition]] Neopet reminiscent of an ''[[wikipedia:Apatosaurus|Apatosaurus]]'' and a ''[[wikipedia:Stegosaurus|Stegosaurus]]''. Chombies come from [[Tyrannia]], and first appeared on the [[Neopets|site]] when Tyrannia was discovered on 21 March 2001. They were first available to adopt the following day.


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]].
The Chomby is a hefty Neopet - a single one can [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=81 shake the ground] on its own. The [[Maraquan]] Chomby is [http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard.phtml?edid=7&id=10 a reference to] the legend of the [[wikipedia:Loch Ness Monster|Loch Ness Monster]]. In the [[Neopets Trading Card Game]], they are associated with the element of light.  


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.
