(→‎Names in other languages: At least in the original, it's pretty much a monochrome bluish gray, right? Plus, they did something similar with K-9.)
(Undo revision 4067564 by Blinker (talk) - I doubt it was intentional. The "High" enemies are stronger versions of existing ones (Bob-omb, Boo, Leuko, and Shy Guy), none of which share a palette. In contrast, K-9 is the weaker form of Chow, and is where the pun is most appropriate. I'd chalk the coloring up to coincidence here, considering normal Boos sometimes had blue tongues.)
