I'm going to have to agree with PDoogan.

The "egg" may be just a nickname but that is not what I think.

Then what do you think? And why do you think it? Why should anyone else think it? Why are spinies able to return to egg form? What I think is that the egg and the spiny are actualy one and the same. The egg is part of the spiny from birth and beyond. So if it rolls into a ball it is still the same spiny and I sopose it wouldn't be eintierly incorrect to also call it an egg. When the egg and the creature are the same entity it's kind of hard to pick just one. So now you tell me what you think, why you think it, and why anyone else should.

Well I guess that just about raps it up for lakitus and spinies. So lets move on. What dose everyone think about the troopias and other koopa like creatures that populate the bean-bean kingdom? Also what do you think of the drybones that are found there? Are they koopa skeletons, troopeia? They are a little different from other dry bones found in other games. Thoughts?

Those Dry Bones are probablly Tropea skeletons and Tropeas are Koopas that have mixed with Beans

"Tropeas are Koopas that have mixed with Beans"
I don't know why, but that just makes me want to laugh out loud.
But really, it's hard to think up a better explaination.
Looks like it's time for me to "force think."
Um........*thinks*.........
hmm....*Force thinks!* What if tropeas are koopas that have a symbiotic relationsip with some of the plant life of bean bean kingdom? So the plant like structures on their heads are actualy a separate organism.

The Troopa provides food and protection, and the plant gives magical healing water. Makes sense.

But now about the Dry Bones

What about them? I kind of like SG's theory about the tropeas co-existence, and your thing about the beanbean dry bones being tropea skelies makes enugh sense. So I would just have to assume that those drybones lose the plant and healing powers because, well...since its dead a plant on it would not be able to extract any nuetrients.

Might I add that the pokemon turtwig is a blatant rip-off of troopea.
The plant probably make energy through photosynthsis and then transfers it to the koopa. Although how the elite troopeas are able to revive defeted enemies is beyond me...

The plant also heals its party. As for revival, I'd say that the enemies don't actually disappear when beaten, but a rotting corpse (or KO'd enemy; your call) would look ugly or take up too much memory. So it just sprinkles some magic water and the enemy's good as new.

Maybe they are making fun of the fact that Tropea is a plant when they use the magic water

My pet theory is that the Troopeas are the descendants of Koopa Troopas who caught Bean Fever and were transformed into bean-beings. In fact, most Beanbean Kingdom species have analogs elsewhere in the Mushroom World, which makes me believe that they are the descendants of immigrants from the outside world who contracted Bean Fever and became beanish.

Nice theory !
It's also a possibility that, when Koopas were still between turtles and what they are now, some of them travelled to different lands and adapted themselves to the environement.

Ha, every time I thought about Bean Fever, I took the "turn into a bean" thing to mean turning into an actual bean, the type used in coffee, but it does make a lot more sense if it meant "turn into a bean-based being", indeed!

I wonder what Mario would have looked like if Luigi hadn't cured him of Bean Fever
