Houchou is a chaotic-aligned artifact spoon in SLASH'EM. It is thrown at a target, and if it hits, it instakills the victim. There is no defense against Houchou, but if it hits a target, the tool itself is always destroyed in the process. Save Houchou for a dangerous or difficult opponent. (Or, alternatively, ascend with it. With a price of 50000, it equals to about 28 dilithium crystals in score points.)

If thrown upwards, Houchou will kill you.

Origin

"Houchou" is Japanese for "kitchen knife." In the Japanese RPG Final Fantasy IV, there was a kitchen knife that could be thrown to instantly kill or severely damage almost any monster. In the original English localization, it was changed to a spoon, hence the item being a spoon in SLASH'EM.
