'''K-9s''' (known by their full name '''Blueish-Tinged Gray K-9s''' on the Monster List in the [[Nintendo Switch]] [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]) are basic [[List of enemies|enemies]] that are found in [[Bandit's Way]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its remake. The enemy's name is a pun on the word "{{wp|Caninae|canine}}", and is also the nickname of police dogs and the police dog unit. A stronger variant called [[Chow]] is found in [[Land's End]].


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 [[tile]] 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.
'''K-9s''' are blue wolf monsters that wear red shoes and lived in [[Bandit's Way]] during the events of ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. They tend to avoid confrontation, but if their territory is intruded on, K-9s will attack without hesitation. A K-9 attacks by biting with its sharp teeth. However, K-9s do have a couple of special attacks. K-9s can use the attack called [[Howl]] to instill [[fear]] in their opponents, weakening their attack and defense. K-9s can also use the powerful [[Fangs]] attack, allowing them to viciously bite their opponents. A successful Howl followed by a Fangs attack can be devastating. Additionally, K-9s are sometimes accompanied by the powerful [[Frogogs]] in battle.


Mario can acquire an invincibility [[Super Star|star]] in the fourth area, which causes all the K-9s to move faster, including the pursuing ones.
==Trivia==
*K-9's relatives are [[Chow]]s.
*The enemy's name "K-9" is a pun on the word "Canine".


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.

In the remake's [[Monster List]] entry, it states that the species is officially named "Blueish-Tinged Gray K-9", though its name is simply displayed as "K-9" in battle. This is also referenced in the Monster List entry for Chow.
