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 find it difficult to socialize with peppy and normal villagers as he will criticize them. He will get along with lazy, snooty, and other cranky villagers, with whom he will share deeper conversations. He will occasionally normal villagers when being mean about something or someone.

Chow's house across all the games uses the imperial wall and imperial tile for flooring, and it contains furniture from the exotic series, such as the bed, bench, end table, chest, lamp, and screen. While Chow has no stereo in Animal Crossing, if he acquires one in the sequels, K.K. Steppe will play in his home.

In Animal Crossing, he also three Gyroids: the mega dingloid, the oombloid, and a tall lullaboid. In Wild World, he has a squat dingloid, but in City Folk, Chow's dingloids have been replaced by a croakoid.

In New Leaf, Chow has one tootoid, a stringfish, a sea bass, one mama panda, as well as one croton in his home. While he still uses the imperial wall from previous games, his imperial tile has now been replaced by slate flooring.
