Bowser!

Every hero needs a villain to battle and Mario is no different. And for reasons unknown, Mario's arch enemy is a... turtle? dragon? hybrid?
So what is Bowser? He is the king of the Koopas, a turtle-like creature that inhabits Mushroom Kingdom. Supposedly, Bowser was originally supposed to be an Ox-Creature but a designer working on the game thought it looked kind of like a turtle.

I personally love Bowser's character design. Its stayed virtually unchanged throughout the years, and why not? It works! He's part turtle, part ox, part dragon. He's a great villain. He doesn't get enough love in my opinion. So what if he's always capturing the princess, he's bad ass! I wouldn't mind if they gave him his own game.
