Testudogre

The Testudogre is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series, first appearing in Dragon Quest VII. It is an ogre that brings two massive halves of a shield to battle, bashing its prey with both sides and bringing them whole to exhale frigid air.

CharacteristicsEdit

Testudogres are lumbering, muscular ogres with dull grey skin carrying two halves of an immense shield in their hands. They wear purple shorts covered by a blue loincloth and a white skullcap topped with a golden spike on their heads. The ogres have tiny solid eyes and straw-colored beards, as well as a pair of spikes on their broad backs. The shield they can form is almost as tall as themselves, bearing a spiked grey demonic face with evil red eyes on it. They can use their shields to make themselves impervious to almost all damage, breathe out ice-cold breath from its mouth, or put an opponent to sleep with its eyes. According to its bestiary description in X, the testudogre's shield bears the power of hell and has been passed down from generation to generation.

EtymologyEdit

Testudo is the Latin word for "tortoise". During the time of ancient Rome, the testudo formation was commonly used by Roman legions during battles, particularly sieges. The formation involved the soldiers aligning their shields to create a packed formation covered by the shields from the front and the top to protect against enemy weapons.
