Turtle Dragons

Turtle Dragons are creatures that appeared shortly after The Great Schism occurred. They live exclusively on Penumbra and Precipice. These creatures are hardened, thick skinned lizards.

Quite unique to AGS creatures, the Penumbran Turtle Dragons employ infusions in their own way. A combination of lines running along the side of their body indicate a flow of magic, culminating at the mouth. This gathering of magick is often used to repel foes with a short breath of flames.

Penumbran Turtle Dragons
Starting their life cycle around the size of dogs. On Penumbra, these lumbering giants quickly grow about 1,5 meters tall, 1 meter wide and 4 meters long. Their backs are made of hardened, dead skin through which no normal sword can cut. Even weapons enhanced by infusions are unable to successfully cut it.

Penumbran Turtle Dragons are wide, slow creatures. They have a short tail that bubbles out at the end, functioning as a tool to smash rocks and warn enemies. They have 4 short legs, making them slow. However their strong jaws and thick skin make them tough foes to kill. Their bodies are colored grey and brown, this means they're well camouflaged in caverns and rocky areas. Their eyes are a glowing green if they are underground, suggest they have great eyesight.

Precipian Turtle Dragons
These turtle dragons differ in some ways from their Penumbran counterparts.

Aside from being slightly larger, the Precipian Turtle Dragon is naturally far more resistant to cold temperatures. It has a thicker outer layer of fat on it's body, but less actual thick skin due to the lack of predators on Precipice. Unique to the Precipian Turtle Dragon, is it's six legs instead of four. Along with the legs, it's tail is absent as well. It's skin is a mix of white and grey, mixing in great with the surroundings

It hunts by burying in the snow and waiting for days for a prey to come by, at which point it strikes forward, crushing the prey under it's large body.
