Species: bow-wow

Bow-Wows (ワンワン Wan-Wan) are recurring creatures in the Legend of Zelda series. They are spherical, toothed animals that lunge at their enemies to attack. Depending on the game, Bow-Wows serve as both enemies and allies. Interestingly, Bow-Wows act very similarly to domesticated dogs. The "chain" that is a part of their bodies serve as a sort of leash for the holder. They also occasionally emit sounds similar to a dog's bark.

Not to be confused with Chain Chomps, an enemy/character from the Mario universe, which is basically identical to a Bow-Wow. In case of confusion, look at what characters are also seen in the image: if it's anyone from the Mario franchise, assume it's a Chain Chomp; if it's anyone from the Legend of Zelda series, assume it's a Bow-Wow. If there are no other characters or multiple characters from both franchises on screen, it's most likely a Chain-Chomp, unless otherwise stated by the artist.
