Koopa Krag, Mario Party DS

Koopa Krag is a character in Mario Party DS. He is a Koopa Troopa who is the grandfather of the lone Koopa in the game. In Story Mode, when the player reaches Kamek's Library, Koopa Krag's grandson comes rushing to ask for help, as Kamek had, for unknown reasons (but possibly because he had a Sky Crystal in his possession), trapped Koopa Krag in one of his books. The player battles Kamek in Book Bash, thus freeing Koopa Krag. Koopa Krag happily rewards Mario's gang with the fourth Sky Crystal. Koopa Krag owns a book that is a collectible, and according to the description, it has nine magical functions.
