Koopa Troopa

Yup. Exactly as you read the title. This is how I'd see a Koopa Troopa through my monsters lance. Koopas would be a race of antrhopomorphic lizard-turtles, aggressive and with culture dominated by violence and displays of strength. They would worship the Demon God Bowser, a migthy firespitting, foe-smashing dragon of legends, who as their myths proclaim, was just one of their kind that through endless battles and trials achieved godhood of sorts, emerging in his new, glorious form! So yeah. Koopa Troopa.
