- King Koopa has custody of his kids and isn't an asshole! (Wowie!)
- The Koopalings are MUUUUUCH younger and their age order is different
- SPECIES SHIFT, SPECIES SHIFT, SPECIES SHIFT-

Okay, les gooooo!
Koopa Species & World Geography:
This map is a good reference point for where the countries are and the diversity of environments in this world. There are many species of Koopa depending on the environment:
Sky Koopas: High altitudes, in the sky (Sky Land, Cloud Kingdom, Mengeruine Clouds)
Sea Koopas: Warmer oceans / lakes (think near the islands, beaches, and Lake Kingdom)
Sand Koopas: Any desert (Layer Cake Desert, Sand Kingdom
Pirahna Koopas: Pipe Land
Snow Koopas: Very cold areas (Ice Land and Snow Kingdom)
Rock Koopas: Mountainous regions (Rock Candy Mines
Jungle Koopas: Soda Jungle
Grass Koopas: Standard, normal Koopas. Found just about everywhere
This guide also applies to the Koopa Kids, as they follow the Koopa species.
These species give each of the Koopalings (& Kids) quirks. (Except Cheatsy and Larry.)
Sky Koopas (Ludwig & Bully) have wings and hollow bones. As babies, Sky Koopas use a humming bird's wing pattern to fly.
Sea Koopas (Wendy & Kootie Pie) have gills and fins that make them EXCELLENT swimmers.
Jungle Koopas (Iggy) and climb and camoflauge, as well as easily tear through bark to eat tree bugs. (Iggy had to break a habbit of eating ants.)
Sand Koopas (Big Mouth and Roy) have many spikes to avoid being eaten. They also take on a reddish-brown colour to blend in with desert rocks when hunting. They have great digging ability, so they can chill under the sand during the scorching day. The varients of Sand Koopas have different tails, such as rattle snake (Big Mouth) and scorpion (Roy). Oh, also, they're venomous! And scorpion Sand Koopas can sting :3
Rock Koopas (Morton) are Desert Koopas evolved to climb mountains and fight others to become king of the hill to get the best (limited) vegetation. Their most notable feature is their horns.
Snow Koopas (Lemmy, Hip & Hop) are furry and get very weak in the heat. They also love fish. They tend to purr when happy, and often knead. Like cats, they have retractable claws.
Pirahna Koopas (Kooky) are known as the "freaks" of Koopas because they act the most feral. They bite, have cloroplast in their tail, have odd coloured eyes... The rumours have been that they're merges of Pirahna Plant and Koopa, but it was actually evolution slowly turning Pipeland Koopas into partial pirahna plants.
Koopalings
The koopalings JUST got adopted by Bowser. Their age order (oldest to youngest) goes Iggy, Morton, Lemmy, Ludwig, Roy, Wendy, Larry. (This is a reference.) They all have separate parents (except for Ludwig & Roy, as they're twins) that passed away in some horrific accident. (I love giving my characters trauma! <3) Their ages go as such:
Larry -> 4
Wendy -> 5
Roy & Ludwig -> 7
Lemmy -> 9
Morton -> 10
Iggy -> 12
They all take magic lessons from Kamek, and designed their wands to their liking. (Morton was TOLD to not make a hammer, but he didn't care.) Due to PTSD, they can be hostile, jittery or distressed at points for seemingly little or no reason. They try to adjust to their new life as royalty.
Koopa Kids
King Koopa keeps custody of his kids in this AU! Many koopas from all over the world volunteered to birth the king's children, but once they lounged around to get enough luxury items, they left. Bully was born paralysed from the waist down, but when unable to use his wheelchair, he gets around by flying. Also, Cheatsy is trans in this AU, but unlike the main world, King Koopa is fully supportive of his younger princess. (She dresses like Kootie Pie, but in hues of blue.) The only mother that still bothers to visit is Kooky's mother, who is much the opposite of Pirahna Koopa stereotypes and often comes to calm her son. The Koopa Kids age order is as follows:
Bully -> 14
Kootie Pie -> 11
Big Mouth -> 9
Kooky -> 7
Cheatsy -> 6
Hip & Hop -> 3
Broodals
The Broodals are a mafia gang! Madame Broode (called Mama Broode) is the mother figure and leader (as well as the birth mother of Hariet). Hariet is uninterested in joining the gang, and Mama Broode respected her wishes by getting an apartment near a wealthy school so Hariet could study and "become anything she wanted to make Mama proud". Meanwhile, Mama Broode took orphaned boys into her gang, including
Topper, an abandoned bun with a lazy eye and a stutter
Spewart, an aggressive and protective older brother mourning the recent death of his parents and coping with homelessness
Rango, a non verbal child trying to comprehend everything.
Their ages go:
Topper -> 8
Hariet -> 16
Spewart -> 12
Rango -> 3
And there you have it!!
Everyone I listed is open for asks!!
I waited so long for this, oh good golly-
It's 1am for me now though! Bedtime!
