A '''Comeon''' (originally known as a '''Chester''') is an enemy disguised as a [[treasure chest|treasure box]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. Inside the chest (hence the original name) is its body, which resembles a tan [[Ameboid]]. It is one of the various enemies [[Wizakoopa]] creates and can be found in one of [[the Trial Course]]'s two battle courses in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]].


'''Chester''' is a gooey monster disguised as a purple [[Treasure Chest]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. There is only one in the game, found behind one of the six doors in [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]]. When the chest is closed, Chester looks exactly like any regular Treasure Box; this ability allows him to prey easily on carefree adventurers deceived by his mimicry.
A Comeon is the most powerful member of the [[Huhwhat]] family, sporting the highest stats in all areas, although despite its attack stat being among the highest of all enemies at 220, the Comeon uses only magic, so its Ameboid body is never revealed in-game. It also shares Ameboid's immunity to all elemental attacks and status effects except [[Jump]], which it is weak to. It follows a predictable attack pattern: Its first action in battle is to summon a [[Bahamutt]], followed by using [[Sand Storm]] on its next turn, and then using either [[Mega Recover]] to heal or [[Flame Wall]] to damage the party. The odds of each are 2/3 in favor of Mega Recover and 1/3 in favor of Flame Wall. The Comeon's pattern then restarts. If the previous Bahamutt is defeated, however, it creates another Bahamutt. It may also use [[Flame Stone]] to inflict Fire damage to one character.


In battle, Chester proves to be a tough opponent: indeed, he is one of the strongest enemies in Bowser's Keep, as he has both a high attack and a high defense. Moreover, he is immune against status ailments. Surprisingly, although he is met much later in the game, Chester has less HP than his lookalikes [[Hidon]] and [[Box Boy]], although Chester makes up for that by resorting to the healing move [[Mega Recover]] when his HP is low. Chester can also use the spells [[Flame Wall]] and [[Sand Storm]], that damage all the party members, or simply attack his opponents by stretching his gooey body in order to hit them. Chester can also summon a [[Bahamutt]] to aid him in battle.  
A friendly Comeon can be found in the upper room inside [[Monstermama]]'s house in [[Monstro Town]]. It tells [[Mario]] how many [[Hidden Treasure]]s that remain yet to be discovered; collecting them all prompts it to say, "''Wow, you found them all.''"

Unlike the other chest enemies from ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'', Chester is not fought by hitting a Treasure Chest, rather, he's one of the various monster spawned by [[Magikoopa]].

A Comeon (originally known as a Chester) is an enemy disguised as a treasure box that appears in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. Inside the chest (hence the original name) is its body, which resembles a tan Ameboid. It is one of the various enemies Wizakoopa creates and can be found in one of the Trial Course's two battle courses in Bowser's Keep.

A Comeon is the most powerful member of the Huhwhat family, sporting the highest stats in all areas, although despite its attack stat being among the highest of all enemies at 220, the Comeon uses only magic, so its Ameboid body is never revealed in-game. It also shares Ameboid's immunity to all elemental attacks and status effects except Jump, which it is weak to. It follows a predictable attack pattern: Its first action in battle is to summon a Bahamutt, followed by using Sand Storm on its next turn, and then using either Mega Recover to heal or Flame Wall to damage the party. The odds of each are 2/3 in favor of Mega Recover and 1/3 in favor of Flame Wall. The Comeon's pattern then restarts. If the previous Bahamutt is defeated, however, it creates another Bahamutt. It may also use Flame Stone to inflict Fire damage to one character.

A friendly Comeon can be found in the upper room inside Monstermama's house in Monstro Town. It tells Mario how many Hidden Treasures that remain yet to be discovered; collecting them all prompts it to say, "Wow, you found them all."
