'''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.


'''Chows''' are stronger variants of [[K-9]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' in [[Land's End]]. They have no weaknesses, although they are the more basic enemies in Land's End. Chows claim to have already fought Mario, as shown by their Psychopath thought, which suggest that these are upgraded versions of the same 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]].


Chows, as their weaker K-9 versions, can [[Howl]] to generate the [[fear]] status effect on one of Mario's party member, halving his or her attack and defense. Similar to the K-9s' [[Fangs]], Chows can use [[Claw]], which deal twice as much damage as a normal move. Unlike K-9s, however, Chows can use [[Poison (move)|poison]] on one party member.
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.
