Chommo
Chommo (Japanese: チョンモ Chommo) is a region in EarthBound. It is geographically located south of Foggyland and southeast of Eagleland. Chommo is the last region Ness and his friends visit in the game. The region is mostly desert, with a possibility of having a dark swamp. Its only known city is Scaraba.
Points of Interest
Being a desert region, it doesn't have too much civilized cities and towns. The only city that appeared in EarthBound in Chommo is Scaraba. Below the city is a large desert with many pyramids. The southern most pyramid (known as "The Pyramid") holds the Hawk Eye item, which is vital to get through Deep Darkness. The Pyramid is also the only way of getting to the southern half of the desert where Dungeon Man resides.
It is unconfirmed, but very likely that Deep Darkness, and thus, the Tenda Village and the Lost Underworld are part of Chommo. Dalaam could also be part of Chommo.
Trivia
- Chommo shares resemblance, geographical features, and history to that of the real-world location of Africa. It is possible that Chommo was based of of Africa similar to Eagleland's basis on America and Foggyland's basis on Europe.
- Chommo is the only region in EarthBound that doesn't end in "land".
- If Dalaam and the Lost Underworld are not part of Chommo, it is the only region in EarthBound without a Your Sanctuary location.
- Chommo and Foggyland were not given official English names. These names were first seen in the instruction booklet of Mother 1+2. The names are just romanizations of their Japanese names.
