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.

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.

If 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 2x the damage of its normal attack. The odds of each is 2/3 in favor of casting one of its normal attacks ([[Static Electricity]], [[Willy Wisp]] and [[Flame Stone]]), and 1/3 in favor of using Carni-Kiss.
