Neungobu

"Our shields are crafted from the shells of a certain tortoise. Do your worst Demons, you shan't break them." A Menian General taunting a Demon force.

A giant turtle sub-species of monsters whose face is indiscriminate from its shell. They present four colored shell that act as lures. They settle in the Far-West of Orbido in the drylands south of the August Menia Kindom.
Refered to as a "Four-Eyed Tortoise" because of the above-mentionned parts of its shell that mimick eyeballs an divert attention from its weak spots. Their sturdy shell protects them from predator while their strong jaw injures and dissuades the beasts brave enough to get close.
Neungobu are monsters that fill with mana with time. They can manipulate earth and rocks surrounding them like experts. Their fastest mode of transport is to roll around with the landmass they raised as if building a circuit.

Basic Information

The body of a Neungobu is compacted inside a thick orb-ike shell. Its uneven shape allows them to roll around more easily. It is an exo-skeletton that keeps their softer organs well protected. They have four limbs as thick as logs and not very jointed.

Genetics and Reproduction

Neungobu lay eggs like their smaller cousins.

Growth Rate & Stages

These animals are born very small. But they can live very long lives and reach impressive sizes. Their super-hard shell keeps them alive time enough to accumulate a lot of mana and become a dangerous being.

Ecology and Habitats

Solitary animals that slowly patrol the drylands in search of wet herbs to feed on. They can nestle near mud-holes for months feeding on all vegetables in reach.
