One of the monsters in Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies. It has a better defense than monsters in the area, Loch Storn, and may take a bit of effort to kill. Useful for early game grinding due to its EXP yeild
Etymology
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 axolotl, a type of salamander.
Also, 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 Abba song "Super Trouper", as well as being a generally obvious rhyme to use.
