General Information
Nibbler, or Lord Nibbler as he is called by his conspecifics, is a member of a proud and ancient race, the Nibblonians. He is over a thousand years old, and was responsible for pushing Fry into the cryogenic tube and sending him to the year 3000. Nibbler was stationed on Vergon 6 until Leela discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. Despite the fact that he is now Nibblonian Ambassador on Earth, he hides his intelligence and poses as Leela's pet, so as to be close to Fry. Nibblers purpose is to watch over Fry, who is the Nibblonian's "Chosen One", as well as "The Other", believed to be Leela. Nibbler is not his true name, for this one would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims. While pretending to be Leela's pet he generally wears only a red cape, small yellow shoes and diapers.

Trivia

 * If you look closely, you can see Nibbler's shadow under Fry's chair when Fry falls into the tube. (1ACV01)
 * In 2ACV16, when Fry misses the freeze by an inch in the alternate future the What-If Machine shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone.
 * However, in 4ACV10, when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in 4ACV07).
 * Nibbler's spaceship, parked inside a container in the Planet Express building's neighbourhood, is just big enough to accept him and an adult human in extremely cramped conditions - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.
 * Nibbler's right fang broke in I Second that Emotion when he chewed at Bender's butt, it was replaced by a tooth of the Veterenarian that he lost while trying to persuade a jaguar to let go of one of his teeth.
 * The Dark Matter he excretes is used to fuel the Planet Express Ship.

Quotes

 * Nibbler: It is possible; my people live long and are celebrated poopers.
 * Nibbler: The poop-eradication is but one aspect of your importance.
