History[]
Cartoon Network Universe: FusionFall[]
Fusion Invasion[]
The Future[]
Chowder was one of the few people to survive in the Future. He was still at the Birthday Bash.
The Past[]
Sometime during the war, Chowder sends the hero to pick up a few things for Mung, since he is too scared because of all the Fusion Monsters in the area. He sends the hero to Cuppa Joe's for cloffee beans. When the hero arrives he/she is told that Ball-Peen Meanies stole them all, and they set out to recover the stolen beans. He/she defeats the monsters and heads over to the Mushookie shop for Mushpuppies, but the same problem has occurred at Mushookie too, so the hero goes to get the Mush puppies from the Pesky Ponies. After getting the Mush puppies, the hero heads over to Malph's for some smarshmallows to sweeten the cloffee. The store owner tells the hero that a Fusion stole all the smarshmallows. Finally having had the last straw, Chowder sends the hero to defeat the Fusion and stop him from stealing any more food in the Pokey Oaks area. After finding and entering the Fusion's lair, the hero begins to search for Fusion Chowder, who is heavily guarded by Ball-Peen Meanies and Pesky Ponies. Trying to avoid the Fusion minions, the hero gets attacked by a few and defeats them. Finally, after a search, the hero finds Fusion Chowder and all the missing items. The hero is attacked by Fusion Chowder, but in the end, they defeat him and create the Chowder Nano.
Like Dracula and V.V. Argost, Chowder has appeared in the Knishmas and New Years events. He seems to know that he is in a game, as he tells the player, "Help! I think I'm trapped in a video game!" This is probably due to the fact that he denies logic more than just a few times in his show. Furthermore, he also asks, "Do you by any chance have anything yummy or delicious to eat?" He had lost twelve gifts to twelve people around the World: Blossom, Wilt, Numbuh Five, Billy, Bloo, Grandpa Max, Mac, Mandy, Ben, Tetrax, Demongo, and Cheese. He also appeared during the Birthday Bash and Valentine's Day events at the cardboard castle selling Flarts for Valentine's Day.
FusionFall Retro[]
Chowder appeared for the Knishmas event on December 20, 2018 along with Kimchi, Shnitzel, Sour Ron and the Puckerberry Overlord's . He is stationed at the gazebo at Pokey Oaks North/South. He was supposed to deliver some Knishmas presents to characters all over the world, but they were stolen. He asks the player to get them back and deliver them to their rightful owners. The player tracks down the thief, who turns out to be a Puckerberry and delivers them to Blossom, Dracula, Scotsman, Grim, Gwen, Juniper Lee and Aku (The player delivers the last present to Demongo, Aku's servant). Demongo tells the player he can't accept the gift and the player gives it the Puckerberry Overlord instead. Later, Knish Krinkle is kidnapped by a Fusion. Chowder sends the player over to Shnitzel so he they can get inside their lair. The culprit turns out to be Fusion Chowder. The player swiftly defeats him, rescues Knish Krinkle, and restores the spirit of Knishmas. A bonus for defeating Fusion Chowder is that the player will get his hat as a wearable item. It also has some unique flavor text: "A keepsake of the time you saved Knishmas from Fusion Chowder. Unless you got this from someone else, in which case, you're just a phony."

Origin[]
Chowder originates from the 2007 American animated television series Chowder. In that media, he is the titular protagonist of the show. A young cat-bear-rabbit creature, he aspires to become a great chef despite his shortcomings and lack of talent. Chowder himself has an innocent and friendly child-like personality, but is also extremely impulsive, scatterbrained and with the attention span of gnat, which lands himself and those around him in all sorts of trouble. He also adores food and is highly gluttonous.
Taken under the wing of the seasoned, yet unconventional chef, Mung Daal from an early age, Chowder would live under his tutorlage in Mung Daal's Catering business, which serves food to the citizens of Marzipan City. Along the way, he would also be bothered by Panini due to her obsession with being his girlfriend. Although Chowder spent much of his childhood causing Mung and the employees at the catering company all kinds of trouble with his air-headed behavior and often toxic cooking, he eventually found his own way as a chef in adulthood, allowing him to take over Mung's business as a master chef and get his own apprentice, Scraps. He also married Panini and had fifty kids with her.
Trivia[]
- A Fusion is inside of Chowder's mouth by the time Chowder is inside of Peach Creek Commons' Cardboard Castle. The significance of this is that this is the only way a Fusion has been shown to get around the Imaginary Energy imbedded within the cardboard that makes up the walls of the fortress. It is unknown if this is a loophole or an unforeseen error.
- According to Nicky Jones on his TikTok, FusionFall was one of the last times he voiced for Chowder.
