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]].

Wyrtle is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Introduced in Dragon Quest III, it is a cross between a dragon (also known as a wyrm) and a turtle.

CharacteristicsEdit

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.

Dragon Quest Keshi KeshiEdit

EtymologyEdit

  • The English name is similar to its shape, the combination of "wyrm" and "turtle".
  • The Japanese name "ガメゴン gamegon " is the combination of "かめ Kame "(turtle) and "ドラゴン Doragon "(Dragon).

TriviaEdit

  • 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.
