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

The Chomby is a hefty Neopet - a single one can shake the ground on its own. The Maraquan Chomby is a reference to the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. In the Neopets Trading Card Game, they are associated with the element of light.
