That's definitely not the case. Just look at their bodies: sharp claws, horns, spikes, sharp teeth, huge muscles, large noses (for smelling out prey), focused eyes, and even fire breath. Clearly the traits of a predator.
Besides, Bowser powers up with meat in the intermediary chapters of PM2.

Hmmm... Well considering him and his family are just about the only type of that species in existance, I doubt that they can catch all of their meat and make the species extict in a couple of days, and plus they have brains they might try to eat something else if their food becomes endangered

Well, I believe that the reason why Bowser gets ultra huge from the adrenaline rush is because Mario and Luigi are still pumping adrenaline into him even after the Adrenameter is completely full.
Under natural care from the Evoglobins, I'm sure that Bowser would have just been brought back to life without any other side-effects.

Under natural care from the Evoglobins, I'm sure that Bowser would have just been brought back to life without any other side-effects. Even so, that's quite an impressive ability for a natural species to do. I guess that would make sense, kingkoopa, except the only question is, why aren't there more? If they were naturally that dominant then they would increase in numbers very quickly. |

Maybe there are more in unexplored parts of the body?

I meant more creatures of his species.

Wasn't it agreed earlier in this topic that Bowser's species was just a genetically modified version of a Koopa? Or did I just make that up?  Either way, if that's the case, then obviously Bowser isn't a natural species, which explains why he has traits such as surviving fatal injuries via Adrenaline boosts. Plus, since Bowser may have been genetically modified, he might not have a stable reproductive system. So, if he truely wanted to have an heir to his throne, his "kids" would have to be genetically recreated in the same fashion that he was made. Genetically modifying species of animals can prove to be extremely expensive, so you can imagine why there aren't more guys like the Koopalings and Bowser Jr. running around. |

Wait a minute though...what about the Koopa Kids? You know, the Baby Bowser looking ones? It's been shown that there's hundreds in Mario Party Advance. Would he really be able make that many?

But like you said, it's extremely expensive.

Bowser seems to own all of the money and he probablly gets the money back, so money doesn't seem to be the problem

Dark Land doesn't seem to have a lot of resources...where would he get all his money?

Steals it from the mushroom kingdom? prints it?

Petty theft wouldn't be enough to fund an entire nation. Printing it would do nothing but cause inflation. You'd have more bills, but each would be worth less.

Bowser seems to have a lot of money as his treasure room in BIS has tons of gold and jewels which will probablly last for the rest of the mario games

That's still not near enough to pay for a whole nation.

Maybe he is highly in debt but is somehow keeping credit card companies from taking his money which drives everyone into bankruptcy...
Well I have no idea where he gets all of the money from, but I do know that without the money there would be no mario games

I always found this confusing. Bowser and the koopalings are obviously different to the rest of the koopas and the koopalings look different from Bowser also apart from Junior.
There are too many physical differences between them and the normal koopas, as well as Bowser being much larger than normal koopas and about the same size as the gargantuan koopas like Kent C. and Hooktail. They can also breathe fire, which only them and the Fire Brothers can do and are the only ones to have hair although some female koopa troopas have hair too.
This leads to another question. What will happen to the Koopa Kingdom when the last koopaling dies? There doesn't seem to be any other members of their kind around.

If all of the koopalings die? Probly Kamek will take over if he is still alive. If not probably another highly ranked member of the koopa troop

Bowser and his family are likely a related but not identical species. In Japan, I don't believe there's any connection between Nokonokos (Koopas) and Koopa (Bowser). His name "Koopa" probably arose from mistranslations and such.
Hookbill was magically altered, giving him his size. Not sure what happened to Kent C., but he was a bully to the other Koopas, leading me to believe that he's been bigger for quite some time. Whether it was a birth defect or contact with magic at an early age is unknown.
There's other members of Bowser's race, the Koopa Kids from Mario Party. They're definitely numerous enough, and it seems to fit well. Of course I assume one of Bowser's children would take over and have children that will take over and continue the line that way.
