'''Gnips''' ('''Howls''' in the PAL version) are dog-like creatures in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are bouncing creatures that appear in [[Merlee's Mansion]] that carries [[Mario]] or [[Princess Peach]] out of the mansion if they get caught in their grasp (similar to the [[Sentinel]]s in [[Tubba Blubba's Castle]] from ''[[Paper Mario]]''). However, the difference is that Gnips are actually trying to help the heroes by getting them away from the mansion because there is [[Mimi|danger]] there. There is also a larger version of the species titled [[Gnaw]] that does essentially the same thing as the Gnips.
Due to their guard dog nature and their immense mouths, Gnips are similar to [[Chain Chomp]]s. After completing Chapter 2, the Gnips are no longer present.


A single Gnip appears in the ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' as Merlee's pet. While Mimi is disguised as a fake Merlee, the Gnip becomes aggressive towards her. The fake Merlee then kicks away the Gnip as an annoyance, which angers Tippi. After Mimi reveals herself and transforms into her spider form, the Gnip helps Mario by giving him a ? Block containing the effects of a [[Pal Pill]] that helps him defeat Mimi.
'''Gnip'''s are enemies in the upcoming [[Wii]] video game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are bouncing enemies that appear in [[Merlee's Mansion]] that will shoot you out of the mansion if you get caught in their grasp (similar to the [[Boo]]s in [[Doopliss]]' [[Creepy Steeple]]). There is also a larger version of the species titled [[Gnaw]]s that do essentially do the same thing as Gnips.
