Momonga (モモンガ) is a secondary character of the Chiikawa manga and anime series. They are a flying squirrel who is often seen begging for attention and praise, stealing food, and causing trouble for other characters. Their name comes from the Japanese word "momonga", which means flying squirrel.

Personality

Momonga is often mean and selfish. They act cute and beg for all sorts of things. They are very self-centered, and will often shamelessly demand things or refuse to share. Even during dangerous situations, they will ask for food and rest. In pursuit of Momonga's core motivation to "act cute", they make a conscious effort to imitate other characters' cute actions, notably Chiikawa. They often imitate Chiikawa's yawning and crying. They exhibit traits of malignant narcissism.

Though Momonga is often an instigator, they rarely go beyond words when provoking other characters. Even when fighting back, characters like Usagi seem unfazed, implying they are not very strong. Despite this, Momonga shows excitement when they do cause harm to something, such as the slot machine they broke with a chair.

Dekatsuyo took over the body of the real Momonga. This is confirmed multiple times throughout the anime and the manga. Examples are Momonga attempting to eat Chiikawa like how a chimera would in Episode 270, and the current Dekatsuyo having a dream about finally returning into their true body.

Appearance

Momonga is a flying squirrel with beady shiny eyes, a blue fluffy tail, long white fur around its cheeks, and blue shadow at the bridge of its nose. Its large tail can be used to wrap around its body. It is also able to fly briefly when spreading out its body.
