Historians contest the origins of the Chichi breed, some claim that these are among the first Pokégirls that Cocooner created, others claim that the breed was a prototype for multi-evolutionary lines like the Eevee. Which ever the case my be, this breed based on the chinchilla was rarely seen during the War of Revenge, usually it was their evolved forms involved with direct combat. The breed became more commonplace early after the war, when captured evolved forms of the breed began to have Pokékits due to lack of Pokéball technology.

This rodent breed is often mistaken for the Titmouse, though Chichis are split evenly between those who are fully furred, who are usually feralborne; and those who look human with the addition of furry ears and a curled, short tail who are more often threshold or domestic born. For the fully furred members of the breed, Chichis are covered from head to foot in dense but luxurious soft fur. More often than not, fur color is a slate or steel gray, though other color variants have been noted, from albino or white to solid black and patterned duel colored fur. The fur on the tails and ears is a bit more thin, though by no means less soft.

One interesting note about furred Chichis is that it isn't a good idea at all to get them wet. Because their fur is so dense, exposing them to water traps moisture under the fur, causing the hair to get soft and actually fall out. While this makes a water type the bane of these chinchilla types, it's also somewhat dangerous, as the breed as a whole likes cooler conditions, and bald spots can disrupt their body temperature. Due to the thinner nature of the ears and tail, nearer to human members of the breed don't have to worry about this, though they're also more sensitive to the cold. Furred members also have to watch out for overheating, though this isn't an issue until temperatures reach above 85 degrees or so. Oddly, furred Chichi's don't sweat, and keep themselves clean by collecting pumice dust to scrub themselves off.

The breed as a whole is highly adapted to hilly areas, being able to spring up over rocks and climb hills with ease. Ferals that have less fur tend to be found in valleys and adapted to the forests, though normally domestic and threshold individuals of this chinchilla breed are those who don't have any fur. Despite the area they are found in, these rodent Pokégirls are found clustered in large groups. Usually running in packs of over two dozen, this herd mentality is done for safety, since lone Chichis are very easily overtaken in the wild.

Members of the breed are normally described as having pleasant personalities. More often than not, this chinchilla Pokégirl is quiet with slightly inquisitive tendencies. They get along well as pets, thanks to this, though they aren't often found in Tamers harems unevolved. Chichis are not very adept fighters, and tend to panic quickly and try to flee. Only the most patient of tamers is able to train a Chichi to fight decently, and even then there's a chance that the Pokégirl will freeze in panic or flee the battlefield.

Taming a Chichi is relatively straight forward, though many of the breed have higher pleasure thresholds than their Titmouse cousins. Some take to submissive roles well, though others are a bit more playful in bed. Tamers should note that since Chichis are slightly variable when it comes to their taming preferences, individual discovery is often the best method to take when taming this Pokégirl breed.

No researcher, however, has been able to explain the bitter hatred between the Chichi and the Hamtits breeds. The two rarely encounter one another when feral, but when they do a fight is sure to result. This is particularly true when the encounter is between two packs. However, only light damage is usually done beyond fur loss, since both types are rather poor combatants. Tamers who have witnessed such battles could provide few details, though most often described it as 'Flying fluff balls' or 'Fur going everywhere' while in the throes of laughter. It is not recommended to put the two breeds into a harem together, as fights most often break out, and at times, these fights could actually get dangerous for both the combatants and the bystanders.

Threshold cases are fairly common, though usually result from family histories of Chichi, since a Titmouse threshold is more likely given to a general rodent ancestry. Usually though, thresholders into this breed are more thankful, since more often than not they get to keep their human appearance instead of the higher possibility of anthropomorphic types for other breeds.
