testudan

Testudans are large land reptiles that are related to turtles and tortoises.

Description

Testudans resemble huge tortoises. Testudans have thick roundish shells covered in pointy ridges. The shell is connected to the spine and it allows the Testudan to curl up into it's shell, protecting it from predators. Their armoured legs, head and tail also help protect it from predators. They have elephant-like toes at the end of their 4 stocky legs. Their heads have a hard bony plate on the top, instead of a beak like turtles they have thick teeth for crushing up leaves and grass, and 2 small tusks extending out from their bottom jaw.
