Dragon Turtle

(TESTUDO DRACONIS)

Dragon Turtles are among the most fearsome creatures of the oceans. As large and voracious as the oldest of its land-based Dragon kin, a Dragon Turtle strikes with its deadly jaws, steaming breath, and crushing tail.  

Physical Description

A Dragon Turtle's rough shell is the same dark green color as the deep water where this monster dwells. Silver highlights lining the shell resemble light dancing on open water, and a surfacing Dragon Turtle is sometimes mistaken for the reflection of the sun or moon on the waves.  

Habitat

Dragon Turtles dwell in caves hidden in coral reefs or beneath the seafloor, or along rugged stretches of coastline. If a choice cave is already inhabited, a Dragon Turtle attacks the current residents in an attempt to take over.  

Behavior

Like True Dragons, Dragon Turtles have been observed collecting treasure, first by sinking ships, and then by sifting through the wreckage for coins and other precious items.
