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" (包丁, Hōchō, both long o sounds) 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.
Variants
In variants with both Houchou and Cthulhu, Houchou should definitely be saved for him.
