HungryPaimon is a Twitch emote featuring a chibi (cute, cartoonish) version of Paimon, a character from the popular game Genshin Impact, looking excited and ready to eat. The emote is typically used to express hunger, craving for food, or excitement about something delicious.
Origin
The emote is based on Paimon, a mascot-like companion character from Genshin Impact, a game developed by miHoYo and released in 2020. Paimon is known for her love of food and her humorous, food-related dialogue in the game. The HungryPaimon emote started appearing on Twitch in late 2020 and 2021, especially in Genshin Impact streams and communities. It is not an official Twitch global emote, but is widely used as a third-party emote on platforms like BetterTTV (BTTV) and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). The exact streamer or channel it originated from is unclear, but it is closely tied to the Genshin Impact community.
When to use
When the streamer or chat is talking about food or eating.
During in-game moments where food is mentioned or consumed, especially in Genshin Impact.
To express personal hunger or craving in a playful way.
As a reaction to delicious-looking food on stream or in chat.
