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]]. | ||
