The Island Turtle
Ancient Dragon Turtle The Island Turtle (a.k.a. Home, Island)
Dragon turtles make their lairs in underwater caves and coral reefs. Most such lairs are situated deep beneath the waves near the ocean’s floor, though some dragon turtles prefer coastal lairs with easier access to settlements they can trade with—or prey upon. Particularly reclusive dragon turtles seek lairs in even more remote locales, including deep-sea trenches or underwater volcanoes.
Dragon turtles are largely unconcerned with the design of their lairs and seldom work to improve them. A dragon turtle’s primary concern when selecting a lair is ensuring that the site is large enough to accommodate the creature’s prodigious size as the centuries wear on. After that, proximity to shipping lanes and freedom from irksome neighbours take precedence.
Dragon turtles are mighty creatures whose inherent magic is intimately linked with the oceans of the Material Plane. An ancient dragon turtle is a mythic creature akin to a greatwyrm, combining the power of multiple echoes from across the worlds of the Material Plane. Such a creature can be as large as an island— and indeed, legends suggest that many unwitting sailors wrecked at sea have mistaken slumbering dragon turtles for solid ground.
Ancient dragon turtles might sleep for years or decades while floating along the surface of the ocean, enjoying the warmth of the sun and letting vegetation take root on their shells. An angry ancient dragon turtle is terrible to behold, radiating heat from the shell to boil the surrounding water—and any creatures in it. And even if an enemy wears down the dragon turtle’s defences, magical storms manifest to shield the dragon turtle and strike at foes.
