A supernatural turtle covered in gaudy golden scales, the '''Wonder Wyrtle''' is the most recent addition to the terrapin family and lords over it's lesser brethren.
The '''Wonder wyrtle''' is a monster in the series.
 
==Characteristics==
Wonder wyrtles are [[Dragon family|dragon]] turtles, nearly identical to their wyrtle relatives, now having a golden colour scheme. When it first appeared in ''Dragon Quest IX'', it had a dark orange-gold shell and scales, with a lighter yellow underside and horns, and a teal tongue. Starting with ''Dragon Quest X'', the wonder wyrtle's scales and shell were changed closer to a yellow gold, with its underside and horns still a lighter shade of gold, and the fins on the side of its head became dark grey. According to its monster description in ''X'', the wonder wyrtle is a rare mutant that is born among wyrtoises. It can call down powerful bolts of lightning or breathe out blazing fire from its maw.

Appearing as a rarefied {{MFamilies}} in this entry, it is more powerful than its debut game and will even run if it's [[Enraged]].
Wonder wyrtle began appearing in Version 3.1 as the [[Rarefied monster|rarefied]] form of [[Wyrtoise]]. It is able to land [[Critical Hit|desperate attacks]], cast [[Oomph]], perform a flamethrower attack or unleash [[Apocalyptic Lightning]]. Oddly enough, the wonder wyrtle will actually flee from battle if it becomes [[enraged]].


==Trivia==
==In Other Languages==
*The Wonder 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.
