Creature of the Week: The Unnamed Bowser Species

Source: This Creature of the Week is the unnamed Bowser species, whose members include Bowser and Bowser’s eight children. This species is another of the Super Mario franchise, and its selection this week was inspired by the upcoming Wii title: New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

Depicted Above: Much of the information on this species comes from studying Bowser’s eight children. While researching, I began to wonder just how it was Bowser had had so many kids, and who he had had them with. Since these are turtle-like creatures, I began with the assumption that they do not reproduce asexually, the way Toads do. My artwork for this entry is meant to represent Bowser’s woman, the thing he’s having all of these children with. She’s an amalgamation of characteristics of the Koopalings, seven of Bowser’s eight villainous children.

Vital Statistics: The unnamed Bowser species is known for spikes, ludicrous hair, ferocious power, and a fatal weakness to plumbers.

Fury Factor: Bowser and his children have conquered kingdoms and kidnapped princesses. Fury Factor: 50.
