@sidd_harth0_5h4h I think that she is technically a mushroom but unlike everyone else in her kingdom, she does not have a mushroom cap on her head 🍄
@lint @sidd_harth0_5h4h i think that's bc she was adopted

@georgespolitzer @sidd_harth0_5h4h yes, I forgot that.

As a child I spent much of my time on the "super Mario bros headquarters" website, smbhq.com, and read its extensive humor section and webcomix.

That is where I also learned the explanation of Bowser: he is actually the prehistoric turtle species "meiolania"
