'''Gnips''' are enemies in the [[Wii]] video game ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They are bouncing enemies that appear in [[Merlee's Mansion]] that will carry [[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 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.


In the PAL version, this enemy has been renamed to "'''Howl'''".
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.

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 Sentinels 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 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 Chomps. 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.
