Biography

CiaoCiao is a small pet Chain Chomp owned by Madam MeowMeow in Mabe Village.[1] She resides in the side-room of Madam MeowMeow's House.[2] Unlike the other Chain Chomp pets, CiaoCiao is able to speak fluently.

CiaoCiao is obsessed with glitz and fashion, desiring to be adorned with accessories and jewelry.[3] If Link possesses the Ribbon, CiaoCiao will notice the accessory and beg to have it, offering to trade her can of Dog Food in exchange.[4] If Link refuses to make the trade, CiaoCiao becomes very angry at him.[5] Even after giving her the Ribbon, CiaoCiao continues to insatiably lament for more accessories.
