KomodoHype is a widely recognized Twitch emote featuring a Komodo dragon with its mouth agape in a look of sheer excitement or shock. The emote gained massive prominence in early 2021 as a temporary replacement for the original PogChamp emote after it was removed from the platform. While it existed as a global emote since 2017, its sudden rise to fame turned it into a symbol of the community's resilience and a new standard for expressing hype during live streams. Today, it is used across social media and Discord to signify high-energy moments, epic plays, or general enthusiasm for gaming and internet culture.
