Shell Armor

turtonator

Eating sulfur in its volcanic habitat is what causes
explosive compounds to develop in its shell.
Its droppings are also dangerously explosive.

Explosive substances coat the shell on its back.
Enemies that dare attack it will be blown away
by an immense detonation.

Its exploding shell poses a real danger but
is sensitive to moisture. On rainy days,
Turtonator takes silent refuge in caves.

It lives in volcanoes and eats sulfur and other
minerals. Materials from the food it eats form
the basis of its explosive shell.

It gushes fire and poisonous gases from its
nostrils. Its dung is an explosive substance and
can be put to various uses.

The shell on its back is chemically unstable
and explodes violently if struck. The hole in its
stomach is its weak point.
