Aspidochelone

The aspidochelone is also known as the aspis testudo, or island turtle, It is a gigantic creature that resembles a cross between a whale and a turtle that looks like an island as it floats lazily along in the sea. The back is hard and grows many types of seaweeds — and even small trees! Sailors often land on it and walk around, not realizing that they are on a beast. This doesn‘t bother the aspidochelone, but when they light a fire, it objects. At that point, the beast sinks into the sea, causing great waves and swirls of water.
The aspidochelone is not malicious in itself, and does not attack people. Indeed, it eats fish — it opens its mouth and fish are attracted to its breath.
Rumor: Some say it is malicious, and does eat people. In this case, the damage would be 6d cutting! There is even a rumor that the aspidochelone is a venomous whale — as if 6d isn‘t enough damage!
