	'''Dragon Turtles''' are species of monsters in the worlds of [[Dungeons & Dragons]]. Distant relatives of the dragon family, like the [[wyvern]] or the [[dragonne]], these giant sea-dwelling monsters resemble enormous sea turtles with clawed flippers, long draconic tails, and a vaguely dragon-like head, although from 2e on their art depicts them more or less as giant snapping turtles. Dragon Turtles are to the seas what the [[Chromatic Dragon]]s are to the land; avaricious bullying brutes who use their immense strength and their superheated steam breath weapon to terrorize shipping lanes, sinking anyone who can't bribe them with treasure for their hoards.
