'''Chow''' is a [[cranky]] [[bear]] [[villager]] in the {{SER}} who appears in all games to date except {{PC}}.

{{NHVillagerHobby}}

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
[[File:Chow PG.png|thumb|left|80px|Artwork of Chow from {{PG}}.]]
===Appearance===
Chow is a pink panda bear with black arms, eyes, and legs, and also has a mole under his left eye. The insides of his ears are blue. His eyes are unique, with white oval-shaped circles and no pupils.

===Personality===
{{Pers|cranky}}

As a cranky villager, Chow will appear mature compared to other personality types. This will make him appear belittling and insensitive to other [[villagers]], including the [[player]]. Despite this, he will learn to confide in the player, considering them his only friend. He will enjoy the usual [[hobbies]], but for relaxation and peace rather than for competition. He will find it difficult to socialize with [[peppy]] villagers, who he will criticize when talking to other villagers. He will get along with [[normal]] and [[snooty]] villagers, as well as other cranky villagers, with whom he will share deeper conversations. He will, on occasion, annoy a normal villager, usually when being mean about something or someone.
