'''Chows''' are a stronger variant of [[K-9]]s that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]] in [[Land's End]]. They have no weaknesses, although they are the most basic enemies in Land's End. In the English [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, Chows claim to have already fought [[Mario]] in their [[Thought Peek|thought]], which suggests that they may be the same as K-9s Mario fought previously.

Similar to K-9, Chows can use [[Howl]] to inflict [[Fear]]. However, in place of [[Fangs]], Chows use the more powerful [[Claw]], and can additionally attack with [[Poison (move)|Poison]].

A Chow also appears as a friendly character in [[Monstro Town]], where he will keep track on the greatest number of consecutive [[Super Jump (Super Mario RPG)|Super Jump]]s performed by Mario. The Chow awards the [[Attack Scarf]] and [[Super Suit]] if Mario has performed at least 30 and 100 consecutive jumps respectively.
