==General==
===Description===
Nibblonians stand about one foot tall, hairless, and have two large eyes as well as a third eye on an antenna in the center of their foreheads. They are black in color, with pale yellow circles on their bellies and around their mouths. They are widely considered to be the cutest race ever to exist, though this is something the Nibblonians resent.
 
===History===
The Nibblonians are a proud, ancient race, their history extending 17 years before the universe existed. Brilliant and powerful, since the dawn of time they have battled their ancient nemesis, the [[Brain Spawn]].
 
===Biology===
The Nibblonians live extraordinarily long lives. It is not known at what age, or even if, they die of old-age; all that is known is that they can live far in excess of 1,000 years. They seem to eat only meat, and in prodigious quantities. They regularly consume many times their body weight per day, without gaining weight. As waste, they excrete pellets of [[Dark Matter]], an extremely heavy material that is valuable as a starship fuel. The mechanism by which meat, which is made of ordinary matter, is converted into dark matter inside the Nibblonians advanced digestive tract is unknown, it may be based on a kind of miniature black hole.
 
===Characters===
<!-- Fill in a list of all characters of this race that have appeared in the series. Characters too minor for their own articles should not be linked.
  Format Example:
*[[The Neutral President]]
*The Neutral President's Aide
-->
*[[Nibbler]]
*[[Ken]]
*[[Fiona]]
<!-- Should ken and fiona just be done as subarticles on this page, instead of in minor characters? I'm on the fence; it'd be an excuse for more pics on this page anyway.-->

===Trivia===
*Strangely, even though they are made up of parts that many would consider ugly (eyestalk, fangs, one huge nostril), the combination makes them quite cute and cuddly. An image they abhor.
 
===Quotes===
*'''Ken''': When the universe was forged in the crucible of the Big Bang, our mighty race was already 17 years old.
*  '''Fiona''': The brains are weakening. [She presses an intercom button.] Nibblonians to Nibble stations. Prepare cuddle bug for deployment in 40 nibblets. <br/>'''Nibbler''': (sighs) Sometimes I fear we are cute. <br/>'''Fiona''': Oh, niggle-snoosh!
 
===Appearances===
Nibbler appears in too many episodes to list here; see the complete list [[Nibbler#Appearances|here]]. The following list covers episodes with other Nibblonians.
*[[The Day the Earth Stood Stupid]] (3ACV07)
*[[The Why of Fry]] (4ACV10)
