Chows are an enemy in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. They are stronger versions of K-9s, and are only encountered in Land's End.

Battle

In battle, Chows can attack by biting for damage. They can also use special attacks such as Poison to build up on damage on someone over time.

Strategy

Despite appearing very late in the game, the Chow's stats are rather low, so any physical move should take them out.

Trivia

• There is another Chow that appears in Monstro Town. However, this Chow is friendly and records how many Super Jumps that Mario can do in succession. If Mario has thirty jumps, then he is awarded with an Attack Scarf. If he has reached over one hundred, he is awarded with the Super Suit.
• Their Psychopath message indicates they fought Mario already. This may indicate that these are the same K-9s from Mushroom Way.
