The '''Dark Koopatrol''', sometimes abbreviated as '''D. Koopatrol''', is the stronger version of the [[Koopatrol]] and the strongest type of [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. The Dark Koopatrol is one of the most powerful enemies in the game, with a very high amount of HP and Attack. They wear a spiky metallic helmet to prevent being [[jump]]ed on. Much like the [[Dark Craw]], the first Dark Koopatrol encountered, named [[The Koopinator]], is found in the [[Glitz Pit]]. He is the last fighter [[Mario]] must defeat before his battle with [[Rawk Hawk]]. Dark Koopatrols attack by charging at Mario and his partners, or by using a move similar to [[Power Shell]]. Unlike the regular Koopatrols, they are unable to call in reinforcements. They can even increase their Offense by [[Charged|charging]] their attack by +5. The one weakness they have is that they can be flipped onto their shells like normal Koopas through the use of a [[Quake Hammer]] attack, a [[POW Block#Paper Mario series|POW Block]], or Mario's jump if he is wearing the [[Spike Shield]] badge.

Dark Koopatrols have the highest [[Heart Point|HP]] of all non-boss enemies in the game.

==Trivia==
*Although the Tattle Log states Dark Koopatrols are elite members of the [[Koopa (species)|Koopa clan]], the only Dark Koopatrols are found independently in the Glitz Pit and the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]] and do not appear to be affiliated with [[Bowser]]'s army like normal Koopatrols.
