Chief Kwimpala is a leader of the Chickens of Neith. During The Fall of Neith, as the might of the RF-9 bore down on the moon, he and a band of brave Chicken-warriors, including Yellow Beak Stout Feather, used the Cheeknomicron to power a decommissioned surface-to-space moon laser stored in the treacherous Sobek Mountains, to return fire on the RF-9.

When The Chæmbrolāmbra, the shadow of Chæmbo's ship, fell over Neith, Kwimpala was among the few who understood what the darkness meant, and he urged the others to flee. Then he took to the sky in a ship and cast the Cheeknomicron toward Earth in a capsule, so that the Rumps would never have it. He was killed by Rumpish forces on that mission. The capsule came down on Earth, where Marcus Aurelius Chamberlain Bentworthe recovered it and kept it secret.
