==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
Wyrtles is a cross between a [[Wikipedia:wyrm|wyrm]] and a turtle that crawls about on all fours. Their most distinctive physical feature is the grey turtle shell that covers its body, which they are able to withdraw in to defend themselves. Wyrtles have a pair of long curved horns on tops of their heads, fins on either side of their face, and jagged osteoderms running down the length of their body, all coloured a dull orange. The underside skin of their body vary between games, sometimes being coloured white and other times a brighter orange than their osteoderms. In combat, they can breathe out different kinds of breath against unwitting adventurers, including [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fire Breath]].

In combat, they can breathe out different kinds of breath against unwitting adventurers, including [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fire Breath]]. According to its monster description in various games, the wyrtle was originally a turtle lived to a thousand years before consuming the flesh of a dragon god and becoming a dragon itself. Its English name is a combination of the words "[[wikipedia:wyrm|wyrm]]" and "turtle", while its Japanese name {{translation|''Gamegon''|ガメゴン}} is the combination of the words ''Game'' (かめ), meaning "turtle" and {{translation|Dragon|ドラゴン|Doragon}}''.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The English name is a combination of "[[wikipedia:wyrm|wyrm]]" and "turtle", while its Japanese name {{translation|''Gamegon''|ガメゴン}} is the combination of the words "かめ ''Kame'' "(turtle) and "ドラゴン ''Doragon'' "(Dragon).
*Although its monster description in the original ''Dragon Quest Monsters'' stated that wyrtles could not hide inside their shells, they gained the ability to do so in ''Dragon Quest IX''.
*Though possibly coincidental, the wyrtle and its pallet-swaps bear a striking resemblance to the extinct horned turtle [[Wikipedia:Meiolania|Meiolania]], which lived approximately in Australia during the Holocene period.
