He is a large purple [[Monty Mole]] with a beard and a crown, and would have seemingly been the ruler of the Monty Mole species as well.

The King Choropū was intended to make a physical appearance in ''Paper Mario: Sticker Star'', as seen in a screenshot from the E3 2010 beta. Judging by the screenshot, King Choropū would have likely appeared as a boss somewhere in the forest area. The only known attack that King Choropū has was him throwing a giant boulder at Mario and his [[Chain Chomp (partner)|partners]]. Unfortunately, King Choropū was removed from the game for unknown reasons. Despite this, his name can still be found in the files for the final game.

*Despite King Choropū being the supposed leader of the Monty Mole species, [[Bowser]] is usually seen ascommanding most Monty Mole species (like a majority of other enemy species throughout the bossseries). This could likely suggest that King Choropū is a high ranking minion of MontyBowser (similarly to [[King Bob-omb]] and [[Goomboss]]), though this has not been Molesconfirmed.
