Koopa Troopa

Not to be confused with koopas

Koopa Troopas are a species of turtle who now inhabit the Koopa Kingdom. They used to be koopas, but, when Morton Koopa Sr. took over the Koopa Kingdom, Kamek turned them into the small turtles they are now. Many koopa troopas wish to rebel against Bowser, but, given their current state, cannot. Only one koopa troopa has ever joined the Mushroom Kingdom, and that is Hinte Combat. Many others have met their end trying. Koopa troopas can live to be two hundred fifty years old.

Variations
Several variations of the koopa troopa exist. Some are just different colors of shell, whil others are completely different species.


 * Green Shelled- Green-shelled koopa troopas were made to be dumb. Their brainwaves have been altered to make them slow to figure things out. They will seriously walk straight off a cliff.
 * Red Shelled- Red-shelled koopa troopas are koopa troopas with the brais of their true koopa self. They are much brighter than green-shelled koopa troopas, and will make much better decisions.
 * Yellow Shelled- Same as red-shelled koopa troopas, but have been given a different color shell to signify they did something to deserve a promotion. Usually, resulting in the death of a member of the Mushroom Kingdom will result in this promotion.
 * Blue Shelled- Blue-shelled koopa troopas have truly proven themselves to obey Bowser, and are given full citizenship in the Koopa Kingdom, and a spot in the Koopa Army.
 * Paratroopas- Koopa Paratroopas are koopa troopas with wings on their shells. They can appear with all the shell colors mentioned above.
 * Hammer Troopas- Hammer Troopas are koopa troopas with helmets and bags full of hammers for throwing. They are extremely dangerous. They come in all shell types listed above, and black-shelled
 * Lakitu- Lakitus are another species of koopa troopa, redesigned to be aerodynamic and be able to breathe properly at high altitudes.

 * Lava- Lava will burn through a koopa troopa's shell, killing it.
 * Shell- Kicking a koopa troopa shell at a koopa troopa will defeat it.

Trivia

 * The spell put on the koopas to turn them into troopas was very weak, and reversable. Kamek completely forgot about this, though. The spell used to turn troopas into lakitus, however, was more advanced, and irreversable.
 * Hinte Kombat and his brother actually both began breaking free of the spell, and began growing hair as troopas.
