Implicating koopa_troopa → turtle
Link to implication

Reason:

All Koopa Troopas are turtles.

didnt we agree that we do not implicate fictional species to real species?
also turtle tag does not fit to following images:

Yes and no. Broad species groups like equine and scalie are usually okay since they represent a wide enough variety that implicating them won't interfere with searches in the event that an image with their species "doesn't quite look like a turtle".

I'd say implicating to koopa or scalie might work fine though.

-1 for OP's suggestion per Mutisija and parasprite, however +1 for an implication to koopa (and scalie, which would be implicated by koopa)

Maybe. It's an another case of 'scalie' without scales, though..

Which is why scalie doesn't actually imply scales; if we limited it to just creatures with visible scales we'd just end up with 2 scales tags, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense to do.

Then how do you feel about the recent wiki change that says that it shouldn't be tagged for non-scaly dragons? Should that be reverted?

They probably shouldn't. A lot of them are less "scalie" and more mammalian than anything (especially the hybrids).

Then again, there's a big difference between drawing smooth human-like skin on something vaguely reptilian than more detailed fur/feathers on the same body. (Personally, I've always felt that birds/dinosaurs fit into my mental concept of what is considered "scalie", but thats a bit of a different story. I'm also not suggesting we do this.)

So currently it seems like it's getting tagged for the following things:

• "Scalie" species - Mostly reptiles or somehow based off of reptiles (koopa)
• Any dragon that isn't furry/feathery (unless they have visible scales in addition to fur/feathers)
• Generic "probably scalie" characters that happen to have fairly smooth skin instead of scales (post #633001 post #640238 post #616563)
• Species that aren't a "scalie species", but happen to have scales (I don't have a good example of this handy)

Does this seem like a good summary of how they are used?
