Koopatrol

Making their debut in Paper Mario, Koopatrols are elite soldiers of Bowser's Army. These guys are high-ranking guards of Bowser's Castle. Most Koopa Troopas dream of becoming Koopatrols. They appear in physique similar to Koopa Troopas, but they wear intimidating spiky armor.

These guys are found in Bowser's Castle in Paper Mario, they were shown patrolling Bowser's and Princess Peach's Castles after Bowser stole the castle and uprooted it into the stratosphere.

They are later found in Rogueport Sewers in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door after Mario and his team clear Chapter 5. And there are also an advanced type of Koopatrol, the Dark Koopatrol, only it has red eyes and blue armor.
