@Kyronix what i find interesting is the anatomy of the dragon turtle... it has flippers instead of feet - okay - so it must be aquatic. Since having flippers, it should be rather slow and sloppy moving on land, but I've seen these move rather quickly. Makes no sense really.

Has anyone tried to take their little hatchling onto water? I'd expect it to move lickity split with those flippers.

Is this creature only to be found on land? If so, the anatomy makes no sense which equates to immersion kill...

*sigh*

Is this the turtle we were to supposedly summon in Ilshenar for a ride? Yeah, that was a long long time ago (KR client...)
In a former life I worked in a public aquarium where we had, among other things, terrestrial, aquatic, and marine turtles. What I can assure you is that despite having just flippers, an aquatic/marine turtle can still get to where it wants to go in quite a hurry if it so decides (especially when they are small, and particularly when you are lifting them out of the water and needing them to stay still to weigh them or give them vet checkups). I can also assure you that their bite, when landed full force on your bum is quite painful. And since this post would be worthless without pics,
