Nyatchi (にゃっち Nyatchi) is a female adult Tamagotchi character that debuted on the Tamagotchi Generation 2 in Japan, and on the Tamagotchi Connection Version 3 internationally.
Name Origin[]
Nyatchi's name comes from the Japanese word for a cat's meow, nyan (にゃん) or nya (にゃ).
Appearance[]
Nyatchi looks like a kitten with yellow cheeks and closed, happy eyes. Her right ear and tail are black. Her color changes depending on her mood; she is typically green, but can also be pink (happy), yellow (relaxed), red (angry), blue (sad or ill), or orange (bashful or embarrassed).
In her sprites, her eyes seem to be open, albeit tiny and round like Mimitchi's eyes.
Personality[]
Nyatchi is very playful and enjoys playing with balls of yarn. She is quite moody, and her body color changes with her moods. As a hobby, Nyatchi likes knitting. Since she is friends with mice, Nyatchi likes to knit sweaters for them.

Their hobby is knitting and they are good friends with a mouse, often giving them a sweater." - Hoshi de Hakken!! Tamagotchi (JP, 1998) |
"They have a peculiar constitution that causes the color of their body to change depending on their mood." - Tamagotchi 25th Character Special book (JP, 2022) |

Trivia[]
- According to Chubby Deviltchi's official profile, Professor Banzo theorizes they were Nyatchi in its previous life.
- Nyatchi appeared on the Tamagotchi iD L 15th Anniversary Version Character Poll as a female candidate, but did not get enough votes to make it on the roster.
- On the Tamagotchi Connection Version 3, Nyatchi's sprites show her with her eyes open like her original appearance on the Tamagotchi (Generation 2). These were all changed on the 2024 re-release to have her eyes closed, likely to resemble her appearance in her official artwork more closely.
