'''Chommo''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|チョンモ|Chonmo}}''' ''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. It is the home region of Prince [[Poo]].

Chommo is the eastmost region in the world of ''EarthBound''. The region is mostly mountains and desert, while having a [[Deep Darkness|dark swamp]] in the southmost part. Being a mountainous and desert region, Chommo does not have many civilized cities and towns. The only cities that appeared in ''EarthBound'' in Chommo are Dalaam and Scaraba. Dalaam is located high in the mountains and is where Prince Poo lives. Scaraba is the desert part of the region. To the south of Scaraba is a large desert with many pyramids. Across a body of water is a dark swamp known as Deep Darkness, the darkness is very thick and requires the Hawk Eye to navigate. It is thought that because Deep Darkness, and by extension [[Tenda Village]], is part of Chommo, the [[Lost Underworld]] could be part of Chommo by extension, however this is unconfirmed. | Chommo is the eastmost region in the world of ''EarthBound''.

The real-world counterpart to Chommo is the continent of {{wp|Asia}}, however Scaraba's inclusion implies it to also extend to Northern [[Wikipedia:Africa|Africa]]. Dalaam | The real-world counterpart to Chommo is the continent of {{wp|Asia}}, however Scaraba's inclusion implies it to also extend to Northern [[Wikipedia:Africa|Africa]]. Dalaam's geographical location matches that of {{wp|China}}<ref>[http://starmen.net/mother2/publications/Famitsu_19940812/021.jpg Famitsu Weekly, 8/12/1994]</ref> while the architecture draws inspiration from the {{wp|Middle East}} and {{wp|India}}, in terms of the latter the most notable being the elephant statues outside of Poo's palace. Scaraba shares resemblance, geographical features, and history to that of Africa or the Middle East, the southern portion is based off of {{wp|Egypt}}, with the pyramids and The Sphinx being based off of their real-life counterparts. Deep Darkness appears to be based off of southeast Asia based on its swampy climate, and also the inclusion of the [[Demonic Petunia]], which in Japan is named Devil Rafflesia, as the {{wp|rafflesia}} is a plant that grows in southeast Asia. | ||

|The Dungeon Man is a human-dungeon hybrid | |The Dungeon Man is a human-dungeon hybrid envisiomed by [[Brick Road]] found in the southern part of Scaraba. He was created when [[Dr. Andonuts]] combined Brick Road with a dungeon, and thus Brick Road himself is Dungeon Man. Dungeon Man is an artificial dungeon which must be navigated twice, the first to meet Brick Road at the top, and the second to aquire the yellow submarine to cross the body of water separating Scaraba from Deep Darkness. | ||
