How’s bowser a turtle? 

@sidd_harth0_5h4h Bowser is sort of a cross between a turtle and a dragon. They call him the King of the Koopas, who are the walking turtle enemies

@IntrepidVector @sidd_harth0_5h4h since we're talking Mario lore, I'm really fond of the idea that Peach is a colonizer monarch ruling over the indigenous Toadstool people and Bowser leads a multiethnic resistance movement. This places Mario as an "adventurer" in the historical sense, hiring himself out to colonial administration in service of white supremacy
