How does a NAT router obtain its IP address?

I have a question about DHCP and NAT.

I know NAT translates local IP addresses and portports into a single IP address and specific portports that can be used to communicate with the Internet.

I also know DHCP is used to assign or re-use an unused IP address to a computer that connected to the network.

My question is, howHow does NAT obtain its single IP address; doesaddress? Does it usesuse DHCP?

My doubt is, how does NAT defines it's single IP Address, does it uses DHCP?

Also, in my home network, when I connect two different computers they both get different external IP's. How can this happen? Shouldn't my router be NAT since it protects my local IP Address?
