Terrapin

A terrapin.

An ancient terrapin.

Terrapins are a type of turtles native to Bastion. They are some of the most ancient creatures in all of the Shadowlands and never stop growing as they age, infusing ancient ambient anima into their protective shells as they do. The oldest terrapins grow crystalline structures throughout their bodies. Though they may look friendly, a bite from their beaks can sever the digits of even a centurion. Terrapins prefer berries as their primary food source, though they will eat almost anything. Contrary to popular belief, a terrapin's diet has nothing to do with its shell color. The brightscales are the rarest type of terrapin seen in the wild. Rubbing the top of one's shell is considered lucky.
