You're right.

hes Niether, hes a Koopa. :P

Wrong, he has to be a dragon. Yoshi has the token dinosaur role used up, and bowser breaths fire.

Shouldn't this thread be called "Bowser"?

That is right. He's the king of the koopas

And koopas are turtles... But that doesn't mean he's a koopa, he breaths fire after all...

Koopa is Bowser's last name. :)

The bosses on Super Mario World have names like Iggy Koopa, ect. because they're his kids.

I doubt he's a dragon, because he has a shell. Dinosaurs and dragons don't breath fire, so I don't know. :P

Edit: Dinosaurs and turtles**** don't breathe fire

Bowser is commonly described as being a fictitious type of dinosaur. Your parents may not have told you yet, but dragons and koopas are mythical monsters.

Dragons are not mythical monsters, There are Real Dragons.

I never said Komodo dragons were mythical, why are you wasting my time?

Perhaps he IS a type of turtle?

Turtles don't blow fire at fat italian plumbers!

Ant fat Italian plumbers don't break bricks with their heads

are you sure? Fat Itallian plumbers are pretty crazy you know.

Maybe Itallian but not Italian

What's the difference?

Yeti's are sexier, of course:

Real pictures came up in the search for koopa...just not of koopa.

^^^^^^^ that will show you why Dinosaurs could not have breathed fire.

However if Koopa is a Dragon could Dragon lay eggs?

"King Bowser Koopa and his queen decided that they needed someone who could rule the emperor after they died so they had children. Queen Koopa laid 128 eggs!!!!" (OOLemmy).

So the question is can Dragons lay eggs, if so then Bowser is clearly a dragon.

However on the site http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/King%20Bowser%20Koopa...it says that bowser is a fictional TURTLE.

Can turtles lay eggs?

Turtles lay eggs.

Turtles do lay eggs, as do dragons. (In mythology)Baby dragons hatch form eggs, and you frequently read/see mother dragons protecting a nest of eggs.

So bowser is a turtle

But.. turtles don't breathe fire... they don't have horns either -.-

Hes a turtle dragon ;D

yes his a "Turtle Dragon"

Since I missed this thread before, I just have to say, "Lisa, [s]Vampires are[/s] Mario is make-believe, like elves, gremlins, and eskimos"

He's a dragosaur, there's no use arguing this. The creators made this game and made him up. He is a Koopa, a turtle/dragon/dinosaur/goat whatever the fuckness you want to call him.

There is no right answer unless you call the creator of the game and ask them what Bowser is, what they tell you is the right answer obviously.

To quote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Koopa :

[quote]King Bowser Koopa, a fictional [u]turtle[/u] from Nintendo video games, is Mario and Luigi's arch nemesis. He constantly kidnaps Princess Peach Toadstool and has repeatedly attempted to conquer Mushroom Kingdom since his first appearance in Super Mario Brothers.[/quote]

Hes just a super turtle! lol cause what about all his little minions, most of them are turtles.
