A species of huge snapping turtle endemic to the swamps and rivers of southern Zaitopia. They are equipped with a wormlike tongue which they use as a lure to attract prey, and a razor sharp beak that can snap shut in a fraction of a second and bite down with tremendous force. Though defensive on land, they are uninclined to bite while underwater. Their nests are raided by , but thanks to their excellent camouflage and thick armour the adults have little to fear from predators. In addition to ambush hunting, these turtle are also scavengers. Small amounts of K-Matter has been known to bioaccumulate in their shells from the Feral Kreature carcasses they feed on during their extremely long lives.
