History: (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb) – BTS) – Many years ago, the Chrrt-Chuk colonized a series of moons to grow nut trees.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl I#4 – BTS) – To spare Earth from being consumed by Galactus, Squirrel Girl and Tippy-Toe directed the world-eater to the Chrrt-Chuk planet, Chht-Chrrk, which they identified as being full of trees and nuts with no inhabitants. After the visited the world, Galactus consumed it.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#6 – BTS) – Scientists on Earth noticed that the nut planet had disappeared from space.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb) - BTS) - The Chrrt-Chuk watched from light years away as Galactus was convinced by the Earth squirrel Tippy-Toe and her human ally Squirrel Girl to consume Nutopia XXIV instead of Earth.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb)) – The Chrrt-Chuk saw "the Silver Surfer" and his bros land on Chitt-Crrt claiming that Galactus would be there in three days to destroy the planet unless the squirrels surrendered all of their gold and jewels. The "Surfer" promised to be back in three days.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb) – BTS) – The "Surfer" left a bomb behind that he said would destroy the planet when it reached zero.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb)) – The Chrrt-Chuk, realizing they had no gold or jewels, determined to teleport Tippy and her human to Chitt-Crrt, where they would use mass illusions to try and determine Galactus' weaknesses.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27 (fb) – BTS) –Tippy-Toe was teleported to planet Chitt-Crrt with Nancy Whitehead accidentally brought along.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#27) – On Chitt-Crrt, the Chrrt-Chuk created a mass illusion of home environments, Empire State University and New York City while using images of Squirrel Girl, Chipmunk Hunk, Brain Drain and others continually asking Nancy Whitehead and Tippy-Toe about how Galactus was defeated until Nancy and Tippy grew suspicious. Unable to continue the ruse, the Chrrt-Chuk revealed themselves, with Chtty introducing himself (using a planetary translator to speak and understand English) and explaining that Galactus would be there in 8 hours to destroy all of them, including Nancy and Tippy, unless stopped. Tippy reported that Galactus had been defeated simply because they had befriended him but Chtty argued that wouldn't help against the bomb.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#28) – As Squirrel Girl arrived on Chitt-Crrt with Drax the Destroyer, Loki and Mew the cat, Chtty and the others were realizing that the space bomb was made of plywood and Nancy and the others realized that the "Silver Surfer" and his pals were fakes. They made plans to double-cross the thieves. When the grifters landed, the heroes tried using the hologram technology to make it seem as if Galactus was really there but it soon malfunctioned. Just then, the real Silver Surfer arrived on the planet and Squirrel Girl jumped to attack him.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#29) – Silver Surfer and Squirrel Girl made peace then they confronted the "Surfer." Just then, a group of aliens fired missiles on the group and Loki and Surfer worked together to protect them all, including the Chrrt-Chuk.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#30) – When the "Surfer" and his space-hunk allies tried to escape, the Chrrt-Chuk stopped them. After the grifters were arrested, the Chrrt-Chuk went back to their normal life, using holodecks to entertain themselves, and one of them pretended to be Detective Chief Inspector Macadamia.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#49) – When Squirrel Girl was overwhelmed in a fight on Earth, many of her allies showed up to help her fight, including members of the Chrrt-Chuk, Sootori, Mole Man, Alfredo the Chicken, Chef Bear, the Tree Lobster, Hippo, Rhino, G'illian Blax'Zthor, Sentinel X-42903-22, Ms. Chloe, Ratatoskr and Kraven the Hunter.

(Unbeatable Squirrel Girl II#50) - Galactus arrived to help deescalate the fight and he sent all there back to their original locations, including the Chrrt-Chuk.
