Homebrew Dragon Turtle Descendant Species Details
Dragon turtles are among the most fearsome creatures of the oceans. As large and voracious as the oldest of its land-based dragon kin, a dragon turtle strikes with its deadly jaws, steaming breath, and crushing tail. A dragon turtle’s rough shell is the same dark green color as the deep water where this monster dwells. Silver highlights lining the shell resemble light dancing on open water, and a surfacing dragon turtle is sometimes mistaken for the reflection of the sun or moon on the waves. As a Dragon Turtle Descendant, you have inherited some of these traits. You have a powerful steam breath, and are hard to see in water. You are a powerful swimmer, and just like your ancestors, have resistance to fire.
