Desert Tortle in Dungeons & Dragons 5e
Desert Tortle
Desert Tribes can be found in the desert, but also in other arid or mountainous areas. These Tortles can be described as almost apathetic, not caring much for the affairs of other races. But by saying this, this doesn't make them unfriendly or rude. Their shells are like hard round domes. Smooth and polished by the sands picked up by the winds.
