Considering neither the Japanese nor the English names appear to be based on Koopa Troopa's (the "ko" is a big stretch I'd say), and it really doesn't look like one, maybe it should just be listed as a variant of Koopa (species)? I know, the internal name calls it a "noko", but, well, Sluglugs aren't eels, nor are Snailicorns Bullies. Blinker (talk) 17:11, January 26, 2024 (EST)

Not just "-ko," but "-oko." It also hides in its shell, and unlike Buzzies or Spinies, the shell has the standard line pattern. I think it's deserving enough for now. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 17:17, January 26, 2024 (EST)
