Physical Description
Most Boos are small spherical beings standing at 2 feet tall. They have black beady eyes and fangs. Although they are typically white, there are cases they can be different colors. Boos often have wide open grinning mouths with their tongue sticking out. The only exception is when they are looked at, in which case they bashfully cover their faces.
Society
Boos has a neutral standing when it comes to the power struggle between the Mushroom Kingdom and the Koopa Troop. There are a few seen to work with the Koopa Royal Family but typically the species keep to themselves. They make home in dark areas and old abandoned buildings, mansions, and castles. In rare cases, Boos travel outside of these homelands if they have a specific goal in mind. They do rule in a monarchy. Located across the region are territories that the Boos claim but above each royal monarch is the never-ending reign of their true leader, King Boo.
