#plus... let's face it; working as one of Bowser's Minions would NOT give you much time for hair care

"Take 'em down, kid! Show 'em what happens when you mess with the Koopa Kingdom!!"

Gonna take a stab at Koopa Week once more! And starting things off with the one, the only, the Koopa King!! Alongside Koopa!Dal because hey, it's been a while. And he was here the last time I did Koopa week, so why not? :3

This pic takes place in an AU where Koopa!Dal becomes one of Bowser's minions at an earlier point in his life. He never receives his magic paintbrush here, but still has his Shade Sprite and thus has access to dark magic. And he actually knows how to use it, thanks to being trained by either Kamek, Kammy, or some other magic user in Bowser's forces.

Dalex is the card up Bowser's nonexistent sleeve, often being sent in when things get too hectic for other Minions or there's a mess that Bowser wants cleaned up. Usually in the form of sending in shadow beasts to gather everyone up and evacuate the area, followed by Dalex showing himself and wreaking havoc with his magic, his fists, and in rarer occasions, his potent venom.

But Dally is still Dally at his core, meaning he heavily dislikes fighting and isn't on the front lines for this very reason. Instead, his Boom Boom strength is put to use in carrying things from Point A to Point B throughout the entire kingdom. Courier work, basically, and Dal has yet to complain about something like that.

He isn't considered a member of the Koopalings, and in all honesty, he's not that interested in being part of them. It's their clique, not his. Though Bowser did appoint him as an unspoken babysitter for some of the younger ones, as well as Junior.

...That bit him in the ass when Junior's first word ended up being "Dolly!" Sorry, Your Majesty... XD
