Terrapins are armored Koopa Troopas with green shells that appear in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. In the game, they are the weakest soldiers in the Koopa Troop, 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 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 HP and 1 attack power, and 8 defense. In the original game, Mario gains no EXP for defeating them, though they do give 1 EXP in the remake.
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.

Trivia
- Terrapin's Thought Peek quote in the Japanese version references two of Son Goku's catchphrases in the 1986 anime adaptation of Dragon Ball.[3] While the reference is absent in the English translation of the SNES release, it is restored in the equivalent version of the Nintendo Switch remake.
Notes
- ^ This thought is present within the game's coding, but because Mallow is not available at this point in the game, it goes unused. Through hacking methods, it can be seen.
