| In the overworld, K-9s tend to walk slowly, either in random paths or slowly following [[Mario]] and his party. In the second area of Bandit's Way, two K-9s wander the grounds underneath the flying [[block (Super Mario RPG)|block]] path. If Mario and his party defeat one, another one replaces it. A K-9 in the third area guards a [[treasure chest|treasure box]], while four K-9s in the fourth area of the level chase Mario. As the K-9s of the second area, another K-9 respawns. | | In the overworld, K-9s tend to walk slowly, either in random paths or slowly following [[Mario]] and his party.

| K-9s fight in groups of two or three and are often fought alongside [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG)|Spikey]]s or [[Frogog]]s. In battle, they attacks by biting, and have a couple of special attacks. They can use the [[Howl]] attack to inflict the [[Fear]] status condition, or the [[Fangs]] attack that deals 50% more damage than usual. | | K-9s fight in groups of two or three and are often accompanied into battle by [[Spikey (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Spikey]]s or [[Frogog]]s.
