Nyorotchi (にょろっち) is an adult-stage character that debuted on the original Tamagotchi.
Name Origin[]
Nyorotchi's name comes from the Japanese word "nyoronyoro", which is onomatopoeia for wriggling or slithering. Also, the tilde (~) is known as nyoro in Japan.
Appearance[]
He resembles Kuchitamatchi with a blue head and a long, wriggling tail-like body. Some of his sprites show that he can coil his body like a snake. He can also twist it like a spring. In his US art, he is red. On the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. app, he can also be pink or orange.
His modern artwork gave him circular, light blue cheeks. These can be seen in his Tamagotchi m!x sprite and Line de Hakken artwork, but not in his iD L or Meets sprites.
Personality[]
Nyorotchi is obsessed with food, and will not like it if he isn't fed. However, he will become sick if he eats too much. Any kind of food pleases him. Nyorotchi is a frail Tamagotchi who is not very likely to have a long life.

Went home |
"Hello there. I'm back home. Ooh...I don't feel so good. Do I have a cold? No. Do I have the mumps? No. Do I have the chicken pox? No. Wait a minute...maybe it's the fourteen pizzas I ate on the ride home." |
"Hi. I know I was always hungry, so thanks for feeding me. I'll miss Earth food, but I've taken some along for the trip home. Let's see, I've got pizza, tacos, more pizza, more tacos. That ought to do it." |
"I know I wasn't a very polite eater, but I just couldn't help it. The food you gave me was delicious! But now I think I'm learning to slow down a little and enjoy my food. That way it lasts longer! Yummmm!" |
"I found eating on Earth too difficult. There's plenty of food (especially pizza!), but everyone makes you sit in one place to eat it. So I slithered back to Tamagotchi to open a roller rink." |
"If you see pepperonis stuck to the inside of your computer screen, forgive me. People say I am a sloppy eater. Maybe your new pet will wipe it off for you." |
Sent home |
"Just when I was starting to feel better, you sent me home! The Earth atmosphere was doing wonders for my asthma. And the pizza was doing wonders, too. I'll miss your blue planet and the pizza you fed me too." |
"Oh, no! I am back on Planet Tamagotchi already? But I was still gathering research on my stomach disorders...something about nutrition. Your doctors sure do know a lot. Do you think they could have helped me with my slimy tail?" |
"Hey, now that you've sent me home, I'm going to eat like crazy! I'm going to eat everything in sight! I'm going to eat my house! CHOMP! I'm going to eat my bed! CHOMP! I'm going to eat my tail! YEEOOOOWWW!" |

Trivia[]
- Nyorotchi is the only character from the P1 that does not appear in Tamagotchi Town.
- Nyorotchi's name was often misspelled Nyrotchi in early US promotional materials. Additionally, while Nyorotchi’s name is correctly pronounced “Nyo-Roh-Chee," in Tamagotchi video adventures, his name is mispronounced as “Ny-o-roh-chee.” This same error is also present on the McDonald’s Tamagotchi Toyz Happy Meal bags, which included pronunciation guides for twelve different Tamagotchi.
- Nyorotchi was a candidate on the Tamagotchi 15th Anniversary Character Poll, but did not get enough votes to make it on the iD L's roster. He still appears as a park NPC, however.
