The Chia is a lovable little character who is full of joy. Chia love exploring the land and making new friends.The name Chia may be related to the Chia Pet-like tufts of hair on top of their heads.
The very first Neopet, Thyassa, was "born" on November 14, 1999 (the day before the site was officially opened). Chias appear to be great favorites with Neopets staff and are available in a wide array of variations (not available to any other pet species) that look like fruits and vegetables. (For example, the Orange Chia looks like an actual orange instead of simply being orange in color.) More recently, Neopets staff have added the Durian and the Carrot Chia. Chias are well known for being the food of Lupes, and perhaps that accounts for the many colours, or rather, flavours, of Chias.
The chia was one of the first neopet ever made and comes in the widest variety of colors of all the pets, including a range of fruit colors attained using Magical Chia Pops. Adam Powell owns four asparagus chias plus his bori on his Neopets account, borovan.
Despite their popularity with the original creators, no recent merchandise based on the Chia has ever been made available. However, when Neopets merchandise was just starting to be released, there were Yellow Chia plushies and Purple Chia plushies. Lack of new merchandise may be due to a legal dispute among Neopets and Joseph Enterprises, Inc over the use of the name "Chia" (the Chia Pet).
Joseph Enterprises, the company that made Chia Pets sued Neopets Inc. for using the name Chia as a species. The lawsuit never got anywhere. The first chia and therefore, first neopet ever made was Thyassa mentioned later in the wiki article. The Chia, while being Neopet's first Neopet is not the most common at all. As of March 2006, the Chia is ranked about 28th out of 50+ species, with over 2.4 million created.
