What is Bowser? (From Mario series)

[StraightShooter2]

Random question, but I always wondered this since I was a kid.

I think he's a cross between a turtle and a bull or ox (his face is like that of a bull or ox), and a dragon I guess (e.x. since he breathes fire).

He is the king of the Koopas, a race of turtle-like creatures who were probably inspired by the mythical japanese "kappa" water imp.

Best girl when he put on that damn crown.

Basically, a cross between a turtle and a dragon, loosely based off of Japanese mythology.

And he's basically an incel

Patrician response. Now, the important question. Blond or redhead?

Blond. Can't go wrong with the og. And redhead has way too little fanart.

Yeah, I suppose. I do like red quite a bit, but blonde definitely has more art.

The lack of Koopa Peach (the scrapped Odyssey one) displeases me greatly, though.

I think at first, in development, he was more oxlike, but now he's a bit more of a dragon-turtle.

Wasn't there something that said that the Koopas are magically transformed humans or mushroom people?

I think that was from that crappy movie.

Bowser is one of the coolest villains in a video game. It's not just his looks either... it seems that the bad guys in Mario games have more of a personality than the heroes (with the exception of Luigi). Just look at Wario... He's a greedy smartass that tries to outdo Mario in everything.

I believe Yatzee from Zero Punctuation says it best: "When done well, Bowser can be an interesting character study. There's something intriguing about someone who self identifies as the bad guy. Society calls him evil, but not only does he wear their label, he reclaims it... and that is why they will never get him down."

Bowser’s dong and the two of the Koopa kids are my balls

He's like a cross between a turtle and a dinosaur I'd say.
