The Armoured wartoise is a recurring aquatic monster in the Dragon Quest series and was introduced in Dragon Quest VI.

Characteristics

Armoured wartoises are big tortoise-like monsters with green scaly skin and covered with armor pieces. The main part of the armor is the brown and yellow tortoise shell which has holes where metallic spikes can be summoned to harm the enemies that dare touching the shell. The armor remnant is the helmet that these wartoises are wearing in their head and which is also brown and yellow. Along with their bulky armour for protection, they're also capable of casting Bounce to shelter allies from bothersome spells. They attack by biting foes with their powerful jaws and can even roll themselves into a deadly spiked ball by hiding themselves in their shell.
