Troopuiose

Troopuioses are the ancestors of the Koopa Troopas as seen in Super Mario: Elemental Journey. They were Morton Koopa Sr.'s primary soldiers before Bowser inherited his position and replaced them with Koopa Troopas.
Unlike their descendants, Troopuioses wear heavy shells that cannot be used as projectiles. Instead, players can use them as weights to hold switches down and extend the time their effects last until the shell is picked up again.
They also come in two different varieties with Blue Shells and Magma Shells, which can be used as power-ups.
==Description==
Troopuioses are very similar to Koopas, but feature gray skin and yellow boots and shells. They are generally slower because they carry heavier shells. Troopuioses appear to thrive in volcanic environments, their skin condition coming from the ashy air.
Blue and Magma Shell Troopuioses have black skin instead but feature white underbellies in addition to colored boots of either blue or orange color.
==Appearances==
===Super Mario: Elemental Journey===
The Troopuiose debut in Super Mario: Elemental Journey in three varieties. They are explained as being proto-Koopa Troopas can still have their shells stolen but they won't slide across the ground, instead acting as a weight for switches. Attempting to kick their shells will reveal that they won't budge. Two black skinned Troopuiose species carry Blue Shells and Magma Shells respectively, which can be used as power-ups for Mario and the other playable characters.
===Super Mario Maker Chi===
The Troopuiose return in Super Mario Maker Chi with similar properties to their debut. Their shells cannot be kicked but their shells are heavy enough to kill most bosses on impact, given that they have the same weight as a Thwomp. The Silver Shell Troopuiose debuts in this game, featuring a slower movement speed and a magnetic shell that can be drawn from a long distance from a Magnet Crane.

==Trivia==
*It's unknown why Bowser specifically replaced the Troopuiose- perhaps Koopa Troopas were more plentiful or he thought that the weight of their shells could kill him- either way, they continue to thrive in areas where Morton Koopa Sr. once resided and seem to be a more peaceful race overall.
