'''Hidon''' is a green [[Piranha Plant]] with a red stalk that is disguised as a green [[Treasure Chest]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. His name is a play on "hidden", referring to how his true form is enclosed within the chest until [[Mario]] strikes it from below and initiates the battle. Unlike the other enemies found in treasure chests in the game, Hideon is only encountered once in the game. After defeating him, the player recieved a large amount of experience points and coins, and can then find the [[Safety Badge]] inside Hideon's now-vacant treasure chest.
A '''Whuhoh''' (originally known as a '''Hidon''') is a [[Chewy]] that is disguised as a green [[treasure chest|treasure box]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. Its original name is a play on "hidden," referring to how its true form is enclosed within the chest until [[Mario]] strikes it from below and initiates the battle. The Whuhoh also shares its original English name with a boss in ''{{wp|Final Fantasy VI}}'', another game by [[Square Enix|Square]]. Unlike the other enemies found in treasure boxes in the game, a Whuhoh is encountered only once in the game. After defeating it, the player receives a large number of [[Experience Point]]s and [[coin]]s and can then find the [[Safety Badge (Super Mario RPG)|Safety Badge]] inside the Whuhoh's now-vacant treasure box. While the Chewy is hidden, only eyes are visible, despite the fact that [[Piranha Plant]]s do not possess eyes.

Like its lookalikes the [[Huhwhat]], [[Pleaseno]], and [[Comeon]], a Whuhoh is a powerful opponent, having both high attack and defense, as well as high [[Heart Point|HP]] and immunity to Thunder, Fire, and Ice and all status ailments, although Mario's [[jump]] attacks are very effective. The Whuhoh's first action in battle is to release four [[Mini Goomba]]s that are trapped inside the chest ("Monsters are inside!") to assist it in battle; once they are all defeated, it releases another set.
Like his lookalikes [[Pandorite]], [[Chester]] and [[Box Boy]], Hidon is a powerful opponent, having both high attack and defense, as well as high HP and immunity to Thunder, Fire and Ice and all status ailments, although Mario's [[Jump]] attacks are very effective. Hidon's first action in battle is to release four [[Micro Goomba|Goombette]]s that were trapped inside the chest ("Monsters are inside!") to assist him in battle; once they are all defeated, he will release another set.
 
If a Whuhoh is targeted with a normal attack, it either attacks in return or uses [[Carni-Kiss]], which allows it to bite a [[party member]] for twice the damage of its normal attack. The odds of each are 2/3 in favor of casting one of its normal attacks ([[Static Electricity]], [[Will-O-Wisp]], and [[Flame Stone]]) and 1/3 in favor of using Carni-Kiss.

If Hidon is targeted with a normal attack, he will either attack in return, or use [[Carni-Kiss]], which allows him to bite a party member for 2x the damage of his normal attack. The odds of each is 2/3 in favor of casting one of his normal attacks ([[Static E!]], [[Willy Wisp]] and [[Flame Stone]]), and 1/3 in favor of using Carni-Kiss.

A Whuhoh (originally known as a Hidon) is a Chewy that is disguised as a green treasure box in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. Its original name is a play on "hidden," referring to how its true form is enclosed within the chest until Mario strikes it from below and initiates the battle. The Whuhoh also shares its original English name with a boss in Final Fantasy VI, another game by Square. Unlike the other enemies found in treasure boxes in the game, a Whuhoh is encountered only once in the game. After defeating it, the player receives a large number of Experience Points and coins and can then find the Safety Badge inside the Whuhoh's now-vacant treasure box. While the Chewy is hidden, only eyes are visible, despite the fact that Piranha Plants do not possess eyes.

Like its lookalikes the Huhwhat, Pleaseno, and Comeon, a Whuhoh is a powerful opponent, having both high attack and defense, as well as high HP and immunity to Thunder, Fire, and Ice and all status ailments, although Mario's jump attacks are very effective. The Whuhoh's first action in battle is to release four Mini Goombas that are trapped inside the chest ("Monsters are inside!") to assist it in battle; once they are all defeated, it releases another set.

If a Whuhoh is targeted with a normal attack, it either attacks in return or uses Carni-Kiss, which allows it to bite a party member for twice the damage of its normal attack. The odds of each are 2/3 in favor of casting one of its normal attacks (Static Electricity, Will-O-Wisp, and Flame Stone) and 1/3 in favor of using Carni-Kiss.
