History[]
Past[]
In the past, a Chao named Cheese would accompany his friend and companion Cream on many adventures. Together with Cream, Cheese lived in Floral Forest Village with their twin Chocola, Vanilla, and eventually Gemerl.[2] In addition, a Chao Race trainer named Clutch the Opossum would acquire a number of Chao. However, those that failed to win Chao Races for him would be mistreated by being locked up in a cage.[1]
Tangle & Whisper[]
Some Chao were later being disturbed in their garden by a shapeshifter named Mimic the Octopus, who assumed the form of Sonic the Hedgehog. Mimic went as far as kicking one of them.[3]
Crisis City[]
Cheese and Chocola turned into Zombots, from Sonic the Hedgehog #18.
When the Faceship invaded Floral Forest Village, the giant vessel poured a large batch of the Metal Virus into the village, creating a Zombot outbreak. As chaos erupted in the village, Cheese and Chocola took refuge in Vanilla's house. While Chocola tried helping Vanilla barricade the door, Cheese and Cream wanted to help their neighbors, but Vanilla convinced them to stay home. Eventually though, Zombots broke into the house. In an attempt to protect his family, Cheese attacked the Zombots, causing him to get infected with the Metal Virus. He was soon caught by the Zombot though, causing Chocola to try and rescue him. However, he too got caught and infected. Converted into Zombots themselves, Cheese and Chocola tried to attack Cream and Vanilla, only to get interrupted by Sonic, who trapped them in glass jars. After Sonic left though, Cheese and Chocola began to break free.[2]
The Last Minute[]
After freeing themselves, Zombot Cheese and Chocola made their way to Central City, where they came across Tails at his lab but he did not notice them. Regardless, Cheese and Chocola found the power supply for the lab and destroyed it. Soon after, Tails rushed out of the lab in his Cyclone, prompting the Zombot Chao to chase after him. However, Tails managed to pull off enough evasive maneuvers to leave the Zombot Chao in the dust.[4]
All or Nothing[]

After the Deadly Six had taken over Eggman's plans, Zavok used his powers to lead a large horde of Zombots to Angel Island, which included Cheese and Chocola.[5] After the Faceship was effectively destroyed, Zavok became Giant Zavok and grabbed a handful of Zombots, including Cheese and Chocola, and threw them onto the island's surface to face the survivors there.[6] On the island, Cheese and Chocola cased after Tails until they managed to infect him. Fortunately, Super Sonic and Super Silver managed soon after to remove all of the Metal Virus from around the world and destroy it, thus curing Cheese, Chocola and everyone else.[7]
Out of the Blue[]
Cheese soon after came to Cream's aid when Zavok threatened her. Fortunately, Zavok was soon restrained.[8] A while afterward, Cheese and Chocola came with their family to the Chaotix Detective Agency's office where they helped manage the office work while the Chaotix got to work. The two Chao later attented a party in Spiral Hill Village with Cream until Eggman crashed the party in a new that used Omega as a core.[9] Cheese proceeded to help Cream battle Eggman's mech until Sonic arrived and finished it off while saving Omega.[10]
Chao Races and Badnik Bases[]
Chao at the White Park Chao Racing Circuit, from Sonic the Hedgehog #33.
Some time later, Cheese and Chocola were enjoying some family downtime when Amy called them to ask for Cream and Cheese's aid on a mission. After being permitted to go by Vanilla, Cheese traveled with their friends to White Park Zone to compete in the White Park Chao Racing Circuit. There, several Chao and their owners/trainers had met up to compete in the qualification round, including the Dark Chao owned by the reigning champion, Clutch the Opossum. When the race began, Cheese managed to hold their own despite a rough start, but fell behind when Clutch's Chao knocked them off-course. Despite this, Cheese managed to advance to the next round, although they sensed something from Clutch's Chao.[11] The next day, the Chao who had passed the qualifying round took part in the races that preceded the semi-finals. In the meantime, the Chao that Clutch had encaged were discovered by Shadow. At the day's final race, Cheese managed to get to the semi-finals after beating Clutch's Dark Chao, who got locked up with the other Chao that had failed Clutch. Cheese later played a part in Rouge's plan to turn the tables on Clutch when he wanted to obtain Cheese legally. When Shadow later knocked out Clutch, he showed the Cream, Amy and Rouge the encaged Chao. Cream thus decided to free all the Chao trapped by Clutch.[1] When Clutch unleashed his Badniks upon the heroes however, Cream asked the imprisoned Chao to help her friends defeat the Badniks. The Chao agreed, and as soon as Belle opened their cage, they flew out and helped destroy the Badniks. Afterward, the Chao participated in the evacuation of the chateau before an avalanche could hit it. After that crisis had passed, Clutch's Chao came to Tails' Workshop where they had a picnic with Cream and Cheese, finally free and happy.[12]
Zeti Hunt![]
While helping out the inhabitants of Orchardville with a harvest, a group of Chao got attacked alongside the inhabitants by the Deadly Six.[13]
