One of the monsters in ''Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies''. It has better defense than monsters in area, Loch Storn and may take a bit of effort to kill.
==Trivia==
* The wooper trooper, along with the rest of its variants, are based on the [[Wikipedia:axolotl|axolotl]], an endangered species of salamander from Mexico. The name wooper itself references the term "[[Wiktionary:ウーパールーパー|wooper looper]]" (ウーパールーパー, ''Ūpārūpā''), a term introduced by the [[Wikipedia:Nissin Foods|Nissin Foods]] company to refer to their axolotl mascot, which first appeared in a 1985 commercial.
* Additionally, the adding of "trooper" to the end draws a parallel to the turtle character from ''[[Super Mario]]'', the Koopa Troopa - which in itself was likely a nod to the [[wikipedia:Abba|Abba]] song "Super Trouper", as well as being a generally obvious rhyme to use.


==Etymology==
==Related monsters==
It bears a resemblance in both name and appearance to Wooper from ''Pokémon''. This is down to the fact that they are both based on the real world [[wikipedia:axolotl|axolotl]], a type of salamander.
*[[Salamarauder]]
*[[Axolhotl]]


Also, the adding of "trooper" to the end draws a parellel to the turtle character from ''Super Mario'', the Koopa Troopa - which in itself was likely a nod to the [[wikipedia:Abba|Abba]] song "Super Trouper", as well as being a generally obvious rhyme to use.
