The '''Jawtoise''' is a basic monster vocation in {{Dragon Quest VII}}.

==Description==
The [[Jawtoise]] is a monstrous cross between a sea turtle and an alligator. It offers a moderate increase in [[Strength]] and a great increase in [[Resilience]], but severe drops in [[Wisdom]], [[Style]], max HP, and max MP. It learns various spells for supporting the party, as well as the useful [[Harvest Moon]] for offense. Mastering the vocation is necessary in order to become a [[Seasaur (vocation)|Seasaur]] or a [[Dingbat (vocation)|Dingbat]].

==Resistances==
In the original Sony PlayStation version, a character that has become a Jawtoise has a high resistance to instant death, [[Sleep (status)|sleep]], dazzle, [[confusion]], [[Fizzle]], [[poison]], and [[paralysis]], as well as a slight resistance to Woosh-type spells from ranks 1 to 7. At rank 8, they will also gain a slight resistance to Frizz, Sizz, Bang, Crack, and Zap-type spells.<ref>[https://www.d-navi.info/dq7/job/23 Evil Turtle on Dragon Quest 7 Complete Strategy Guide D-navi (page in Japanese)]</ref>
*In the Nintendo 3DS version, a character that has become a Jawtoise is very susceptible to paralysis and becoming stunned, and is more susceptible to confusion. They will have a slight weakness to sleep, poison, Fizzle, [[Sap]], and instant death. However, they have a slight resistance to dazzle and Woosh-type spells. At rank 8, their susceptibility to paralysis improves slightly and they will also gain a slight resistance to the other attack spells.<ref>[https://cour89.com/dq7/jobs/23.php Evil Turtle (vocation) on Dragon Quest 7 Complete Guide (page in Japanese)]</ref>

==[[Monster Heart]]==
[[Image:Jawtoise DQVII PS1.png|150px|right]]
A character can become a Jawtoise by carrying a heart in their inventory and going to {{Alltrades Abbey 7}} to change their vocation. A '''Jawtoise Heart''' can be found in a treasure chest on B3F of the [[Den of the Dwarves]] in the past. More can also be won as prizes by playing the '''Lucky Panel''' game starting from the [[Casino]] at [[Pilgrim's Rest]] in the present onward. Finally, the monster heart can be dropped by fighting jawtoises at the [[Sunken Citadel]] in the past or from the [[Coral Cave]] in both the past and the present. They have a {{fraction|1|16}} chance of dropping their hearts, lowering to a rate of {{fraction|1|64}} from the second time onward.
* In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it is easier to obtain a heart by creating a custom [[Traveller's Tablet]] with a jawtoise as one of the monsters.

==Trivia==
* In the Nintendo 3DS version, the names of each rank are all puns on the word "shell".
** The accolade for rank 8, Exshellsior, is a pun based on the Latin word ''Excelsior'', meaning "ever upward".
