| 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.
| | '''Hidon''' is a green [[Piranha Plant]] with a red stalk, disguised as a green [[Treasure Chest]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. There is only one in the game, found in a room of the [[Sunken Ship]], just before the flooded area of the ship. When closed, Hidon is totally similar to a regular Treasure Box; as such Hidon can easily prey on unsuspecting travellers searching for a treasure. If [[Mario]] hits Hidon from below, the chest ghost will reveal his true form and will engage a fight against him. |
| | Like his lookalikes [[Pandorite]], [[Chester]] and [[Box Boy]], Hidon is a powerful opponent, having both high attack and defense, as well as high HP. Even [[Mallow]]'s magic cannot pierce his defense, as Hidon tends to resist Thunder, Fire and Ice. Also, status ailments are ineffective against this enemy. Only Mario's [[Jump]] attacks are really effective. Hidon masters several techniques, such as the dangerous [[Carni-Kiss]] that allows Hidon to bite a party member, causing severe damage. Hidon may also resort to [[Static E!]], an electric attack that damages all the party members, [[Willy Wisp]] and [[Flame Stone]], that causes significant damage to the target. |

| 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.
| | During the battle, Hidon will also release four [[Goombette]]s that were trapped inside the chest, as the message "Monsters are inside!" proves it. Goombettes provide extra help to Hidon, biting the party members and sometimes poisoning them. Fortunately, Goombettes are weak against Thunder; therefore, [[Mallow]]'s [[Thunderbolt (special move)|Thunderbolt]] can greatly help in such a case, as it may defeat all Goombettes in one blow. |

|
| 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.
| | Luckily, Hidon holds a large amount of treasures. After Mario and his party defeated Hidon, they received 50 experience points, no less than 100 coins, and drops the very useful [[Safety Badge]]. When equipped on a party member, this item increases physical and magical defense by 5, and prevents Mute and Poison attacks. |
