Mowz
Mowz are Little Mousers that have become thieves. They have two important roles in Mario Party 8.
Their first big appearance is in King Boo's Haunted Hideaway. If a ? Space is landed on inside the mansion, a Mowz will let the player spin a wheel with a pinball inside. Depending on which one of three holes on the wheel the ball lands in (Coins, Star, or Candy), it will steal an item from a random opponent for the player.
Another appearance of a Mowz is in Shy Guy's Perplex Express. This Mowz stole Holly Koopa's candy, and when landing on a ? Space (it's one of the ones above the train) a Shy Guy will come and tell the character about the incident. Then he'll tell the character who the suspect is (Bandit can also be the one who stole the candy). If the player correctly remembers which car the Mowz was on, they will be rewarded with several coins.
A Mowz can be seen in the Star Carnival in the menu screen. Other characters walking in the Star Carnival are famous enemies such as Shy Guys, Koopas and Chain Chomps.
