Shelby is a Furby Friend released in 2001. It was released in 6 colors, with 6 more following later that year. Shelby speaks Shelbish (their native language), Furbish and English. Shelby can also talk to Furby, Furby Babies, Gizmo, and Interactive E.T.
Appearance[]
Shelby somewhat resembles a Furby inside a clamshell, which it can open and close. Unlike some Furbys, Shelbys have no tail, instead, having a fuzzy mane running down their back and flicking out the sides of their shell. It also has plastic antennae, or "tennies" on top of its shell, which are used for communication with other Furbys and Shelbys. They enjoy wiggling their "tennies" around. Shelbys can look left and right with their eyes.
List of Shelbys[]
Two generations of Shelby were produced, each with six colors. The generation 1 Shelbys were available in a variety of different colors. The generation 2 Shelbys were the second and last generation of Shelbys produced. They are all nature-themed, and much more rare than the generation 1 Shelbys.

Personality[]
The Shelby has a somewhat cocky personality with a more vulgar attitude and up front comments, unlike Furby and Furby Babies. If Shelby is held upside down for about 1 minute, it can become angry and insulting which would make it be in a bad mood, often retreating back inside its shell. If it is disturbed, it will open its shell up again and say, "How rude!". If Shelby is fed during its bad mood, it will either say the food is yucky, or it has "horrible indigestion" (followed by a long burp).
Many of Shelby's phrases, such as "Shiver me timbers!", "Arrgh!" and "Walk The Plank!" are pirate-like.
Shelby also says "Bah Humbug!", "Shelby, that's me!" and sings "Fiiii-gaaaa-rooooo!"
Trivia[]

- Shelby has around 8-9 different Easter Eggs, though only 4 have been made known, one of which being in the Shelby Care and Training Guide.
