About
Furby (plural Furbys) is an electronic friend initially released in 1998 by Tiger Electronics Inc, which went through a period of being a "must-have" toy following its launch in the holiday season of 1998, with continual sales until 2000. In its three years of original production, Furby sold over 40 million units.

Furbys were the first successful attempt to produce and sell a domestically-aimed robot. A newly purchased Furby starts out speaking entirely Furbish, the unique language that all Furbys use, with 42 different words in the first generation release, forming hundreds of phrases. They are programmed to speak less Furbish and gradually start using English, or another language, the more times they are turned on.

Trivia

 * Massive fad between 1998-1999.
 * The species itself is Furby; evident by the lore.
