Giant Land Turtle

The Giant Land Turtle is a massive, elephant-sized amphibian found in the World of Banded Night. Once a year, during spring, this species of massive turtle will shuffle onto the beach en masse, a cacophonous parade of shells and fins. This often results in hijinks, as fisherfolks and beachgoers need to decide if pursuing their daily activity is worth angering a giant, thick-skinned animal. The GLTs rarely wander far inland, but they have a habit of crushing massospondylus eggs--groups of shepherds are likely to place a bounty on a particularly ornery turtle.
== Tactics ==
These turtles are placid but can become rather stubborn when pushing into occupied lands (see egg tending, above). As such, a preferred tactic of the Tarn is to cover the beast in thrown, weighted nets until it is immobile, then pepper its limbs with poisoned arrows. Cavemen of the World of Banded Night are more daring, choosing to clamor up its shell and strike at the creature's eyes with spears or other stick-blades.
== Trivia ==
