Mario battling two Terrapins.
Terrapins are armored Koopas with green shells and are one of the weakest minions in the Koopa Troop, even weaker than the lowly Goomba. They attack their opponents by punching (However, this does not do much damage.). Terrapins fight solo, or in groups of two to four. During the events of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Terrapins patrolled the halls of Bowser's Keep in search of intruders.
Terrapins are the precursors to the Koopatrols of the Paper Mario series.
The word "terrapin" is an ambiguous term referring to turtles, (which Koopas are of course).
