Ludwig von Koopa, or simply Ludwig /ˈludwɪɡ/,[1] is one of the Koopalings, Bowser’s offspring in early games with Ludwig heir to the Koopa throne prior to Bowser Jr.’s debut in Super Mario Sunshine,[2][3][4][5] and later a clan of seven siblings that serve under Bowser in modern games as his elite generals. Ludwig himself is the oldest of his siblings, and acts as their de facto leader. He is the one who directs their actions and represents them when reporting to Bowser, and even though they may claim otherwise, the younger Koopalings follow his leadership willingly. Being the oldest, Ludwig displays great skill in combat, is the wisest and most experienced of his siblings, and he is implied to rank very highly within the Koopa Troop- directly underneath Bowser and Bowser Jr. who is heir to the Koopa throne. Therefore, Ludwig is the most dangerous among the Koopalings in the Super Mario series, on-par with that of Bowser Jr..
