Wyrtle: Difference between revisions

|firstappear={{DQ3}}

'''Wyrtle''' is a recurring {{MFamilies}} in the {{DQSeries}}.

 

Introduced in {{Dragon Quest III}}, it is a cross between a dragon (also known as a [[wikipedia:wyrm|wyrm]]) and a turtle.

Wyrtles are large blue dragons that crawl on all fours like a turtle. Their most distinctive physical feature is the grey tortoise 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 are capable of utilizing different kinds of breath against unwitting adventurers, including [[Sweet Breath]] and [[Fire Breath]].

*Though possibly coincidental, the wyrtle and its pallet-swaps bear a striking resemblance to the extinct horned turtle [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meiolania Meiolania], which lived approximately in Australia during the Holocene period.
