Houchou (pronounced hōchō, both long o sounds) 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. Monsters will not throw Houchou, as they are not programmed to throw (weapon-)tools.
Being gifted Houchou unrestricts dart skill.
Origin
"Houchou" is Japanese for "kitchen knife" (包丁).
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. Nintendo of America sanitized this item to "Spoon," though its effect when used - instant, violent death - was paradoxically, and humorously, kept. It is thus that SLASH'EM's Houchou is a spoon.
Variants
In variants with both Houchou and Cthulhu, Houchou should definitely be saved for him.
