'''K-9s''' are basic [[List of enemies|enemies]] that are found in [[Bandit's Way]] in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|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 [[block (Super Mario RPG)|block]] 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.

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.

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.
An unused enemy, [[Reacher|Juju]], mentions K-9 in its [[Thought Peek]].
