well, i just checked and it seems most places have Chip listed as spirit or demigod so i dunno how we should tag him. that said however...maybe chipmunk would work?

i also saw this on wikipedia:

"Sonic decides to assist him in his quest to find out who he is, and the monster becomes a guide for the player"

that's mean, hes not a monster. unlike his counterpart, dark gaia. but then again, opinions and all that, so my opinion could be considered incorrect as well.

Chip transcends species.

No, it isn't. Although it is meant to be a joke, it does make logical sense. Chip is pretty much a deity, and thus species really doesn't apply to him. In his mortal form, however, I believe he is a chihuahua.

"it does make logical sense"

not really. for example: if a human were to suddenly become a deity then they'd still be a human. they'd just have supernatural powers is all.

i doubt something being a diety means it magically has no species designation. and even if he could change forms at will, each form would still be a different species. it wouldn't all just be considered "deity".

mortal form... uh huh, hes still the deity just with his powers stripped/sealed/etc.. oh and FYI: nothing is ever truly immortal. theres always a way for something to die and/or be destroyed.

ageless: a life span so vastly long that no one knows how long it truly is.

2 forms of physical immunity: either immunity to all disease/toxins or immunity to all forms of physical damage.

similar to phys immunity, mental/spiritual (or whatever counts as a spirit >.>) immunity.

i've never heard of anything in mythology or anywhere else that had all these "aspects" of immortality. theres always away for them to be harmed and thus ended.

that's getting off-topic though. all i wanted was a confirmation on his species, not discuss deities and other stuff.

Forget I even mentioned the word deity. Forgive me, I was half-asleep.

Officially, he's listed as a spirit. That would be his true form, rather than his mortal form. The difference being that the true form is, well, his true form, and his mortal form is really a more physical and weaker form, usually for interacting with normal people AKA mortals.

Now, his mortal form, on the other hand, is described by my man Vector as a "winged chihuahua". I wholeheartedly agree.

So what we have here is a world-saving chihuahua spirit that is the motherfucking personification of light. Yeah. There's your species tag: species:world-saving_chihuahua_spirit_that_is_the_motherfucking_personification_of_light

ok, got it. still think i've heard of him being referred to as a chipmunk though but i could be mistaken on that.
