The Wyrtle is a monster in the series.

Characteristics

Wyrtles is a cross between a 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-game description

Sometimes they think they are dragons, other times turtles. But regardless of how they feel, their sleep-inducing Sweet Breath and brutal bite are cause for consternation.

Trivia

  • The English name is a combination of "wyrm" and "turtle", while its Japanese name Gamegon (ガメゴン, Gamegon?) is the combination of the words "かめ Kame "(turtle) and "ドラゴン Doragon "(Dragon).
  • Though possibly coincidental, the wyrtle and its pallet-swaps bear a striking resemblance to the extinct horned turtle Meiolania, which lived approximately in Australia during the Holocene period.
