Aspidochelone

Aspidochelones are a species of magical beasts that originated in Greece, but have now spread worldwide.

Appearance
Aspidochelones basically look like turtles or tortoises, but with two differences. Firstly, they are larger than the average turtle or tortoise. How big, you ask? Well, that brings us to the second difference. They are big enough that their shells double as full-sized islands.

Behavior
Aspidochelones are mostly passive beasts, tending to take things slow, but will usually only get aggressive when mating season comes around. Also, they do not like it when someone lights a fire on their backs, and they will either sink below the water (if they live in the water), or get up and try to run away (if they live on land). Mating season happens once every decade or so, and the female will lay her eggs in holes that she digs in the sand of beaches (for aquatic species) or in a pit she digs in a secluded forest (for terrestrial species). She will lay up to 14 beach ball-sized eggs in a nest.
