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 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]].
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.
