Ludwig Von Koopa

Description

Ludwig von Koopa (known as Kooky von Koopa in the cartoons) is the eldest of the Koopalings a clan of seven siblings that act as leaders of the Koopa Troop under Bowser (originally considered his children with Ludwig as heir to the throne). He is also their self-proclaimed leader and is hinted in Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey to be of a high enough rank to directly receive orders from and give status reports to Bowser. As shown since the Super Mario Picture Books Ludwig is a conceited show-off with the recent official bios also underlining his intelligence. In terms of physical appearance his most notable traits are his large wild blue hair his overbite on the upper snout and his eyebrows that are kept at a peculiar angle conferring a serious mature look. He resembles and was named after composer Ludwig van Beethoven.
