| '''Terrapins''' are armored, green-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]]s that appear in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. In the game, they are the weakest soldiers in [[Bowser's Minions]], even weaker than a [[Goomba]]. In [[Marrymore]], a type called [[Torte]] acts as a chef, and a similar, stronger enemy is the red-shelled [[Terra Cotta]]. The word "terrapin" is an ambiguous term referring to turtles, which Koopas are quite similar to. | |

| Terrapins fight solo or in groups of two to four and attack their opponents by punching, which does not do much damage. They patrol the halls of [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] in search of intruders, and appear mostly in the very beginning of the game, before [[Exor]] crashes into Bowser's Keep. They have 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] and 1 attack power, and 8 defense. In the original game, [[Mario]] gains no [[Experience Point|Exp. pts.]] for defeating them, though they do give 1 EXP in the remake. | | [[File:Terrapin Sprite - Super Mario RPG.png|frame|left]] |
| | Terrapins fight solo or in groups of two to four and attack their opponents by punching, which does not do much damage. They patrol the halls of [[Bowser's Castle|Bowser's Keep]] in search of intruders, and appear mostly in the very beginning of the game, before [[Exor]] crashes into Bowser's Keep. They only had 10 [[Heart Point|HP]] and 1 attack power, and 8 defense; this made battling them good training for the player at that point in the game. [[Mario]] also gains no [[Experience Point|EXP]] for defeating them. |

|
| Later in the game at [[Rose Way]], a platoon of Terrapins led by one named [[Jagger]] is seen with Bowser. After this group deserts, Jagger is later found in [[Monstro Town]], training under [[Jinx]] to become strong enough to help Bowser again.
| | Terrapins are the precursors to the [[Koopatrol]]s of the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]. However, Koopatrols wear spikes on their helmets and have very different stats, being much stronger than the regular Terrapins, who are known for being the weakest enemies in the game, even weaker than the [[Goomba]]s. Ultimately, their main purposes are identical in that they are both armor-clad Koopas Troopas who guard Bowser's Castle. |

|
| While unclear in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version, the remake depicts the [[hammer]]-holding statues decorating the halls of Bowser's Keep as Terrapins, despite them not wielding hammers in battle.
