Koopa (3.5e Class)
From D&D Wiki
Koopa[edit]
Koopas are a turtle-like species from the Koopa Kingdom. They appear in several colors and are a diverse species. Koopas are fiercely loyal but also crave independence. They have a history of being suppressed by narcissistic tyrants, and thus are opposed to strict governance. Koopas inwardly are good-natured but can easily find themselves in a bad scenario.
The 3 Species: Koopas are divided into 3 types: green or the Koopa Troopas, red or the Paratroopas and blue or the Magikoopas. The three species of Koopas all live in harmony with one another collectively using each's individual talents to better the Koopa Community. Green Koopas usually fulfill the labor and military roles in the community. They are known for their positive attitude and stalwart personality. Red Koopas tend to be more rambunctious and energetic than their counterparts. They enjoy fulfilling roles and jobs that don't make them feel too tied down. Blue Koopas vary greatly but all have a strong creativity about them. They fulfill roles such as scientists but even diplomats for the Koopas.
