Sea Toraton

The Sea Toraton is a rare mutation of the common Sea Turtle, giving it enhanced intelligence, creativity and speed, and the ability to speak the common language, while greatly reducing it's swimming speed and breath hold time. Sea Toratons are incredibly rare, as only one individual is know to be alive today. The most striking features of a Sea Toraton are the bipedal stance and the fact, that a Sea Toraton will never stop to grow. An alive Sea Toraton is a rare sight, but a sight of a Titan Toraton is statistically impossible, as not a lot of Toratons survive long enough to be that size. These massive reptiles could grow almost 10 blocks high, however legends tell of Sea Toratons bigger than a dragon. Some of the many skeletons in the deserts are their remains. Sea Toratons are peaceful creatures, not needing to kill others for personal gain. However, if protecting a close friend they can be a fierce opponent in battle. Relations with regular turtles are complicated. Sea Toratons can understand the Turtle language. Most accepted Sea Turtles and Sea Toratons as the same folk, while others viewed them as lesser, dumber beings.
== Names ==
Turtles (and Toratons) have an interesting way of naming themselves. Firstly, when a hatchling first crawls out of it's egg, a random mob name is given to it, like Fox, Pufferfish or Sheep. The most common ones are Cod and Salmon. Toratons are however allowed to be named after extinct mobs, like behemoths (dinosaurs). After a few years of developing it's character, a new name will be chosen for the turtle, an emotion or quality, like Fear, Joy or Height. The new name will be used as a sort of first name and the old one as a surname. To combine them in the common language, an "of the" is needed to make it sound right.
Examples:
* Anger of the Fox
* Slowness of the Human
* Fear of the Triceratops
== Known Individuals ==
* Dimetrodon (not yet old enough to have a first name), resides in Illerya
* Wrath of the Titanosaur (deceased), the biggest Toraton to ever live, his existence is disputed though, as he is known just from turtle legends
