Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Just like Monkeys and Penguins, many people have an odd fascination with turtles. They come off as clumsy, shy and slow, and helpless if turned on their shell, but they also appear wise and spiritualistic at times. They are also among the longest-living animals on the planet. If you want a very elderly funny animal, it's usually going to be a tortoise.note For those that don't know, turtles are at least semi-aquatic and more likely to hunt live prey like fish or insects, while tortoises are land-based and generally herbivores. Chelonians or Testudines can be used to describe all members of the order. If they get large enough, they can also qualify as a fantastic transport or living island (or in the case of one series and certain mythologies, the entire world).
Sea turtles in particular are quite popular and are often included as charismatic megafauna for ocean and beach conservation. Giant Tortoises are also quite popular for island conservation, especially the Galapagos Tortoise, which the islands were named after.
Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })They're also notable as the main exception to the Reptiles Are Abhorrent trope, being seen as cute and non-threatening. A localized exception is the snapping turtle, which isn't generally considered cute (that being said, their prehistoric looks make them pretty badass), and pretty bad-tempered to boot; softshelled turtles usually tend to be depicted as evil as well, being frankly ugly by most standards. Compare Lovable Lizard, for another goofy-looking and harmless reptile.

Crossed Swords have a giant matamata turtle as a boss in the second game. Said turtle can talk, taunting you as you tried crossing his swamp, and later tries shoving it's spiked shell on you during the boss fight.

In Monster Hunter, one common source of meat is the peculiar turtle/dinosaur cross known as an Apceros. They're also one of the few herbivores which will actually chase and attack the player on sight — albeit verrry slooooowly.

A symbolic instance with the Ōarai Student Council/"Turtle Team" from Girls und Panzer: their logo is that of a running Turtle, but their tank, a Panzer 38(t) light tank, doesn't actually live up to the toughness of their namesake's shell. That changes when they upgraded it into a JagdPanzer 38(t) Hetzer.

In the Redwall book Rakkety Tam, the MacGuffin being sought by the villain is the "Walking Stone", which is the symbol of power in his homeland and must be owned by the king. It turns out to be a tortoise, which is nicknamed "Rockbottom" and adopted as a semi-sapient pet by the heroes. (Ironically, the villain, despite being a savage maniac in all other respects, must have taken pretty good care of it for a cold-blooded animal to survive in the "Lands of Ice and Snow".)

Sonic the Hedgehog has various robotic turtle enemies created by Dr. Eggman.
In the Genesis version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in Sky Chase Zone, the Turtloid enemy consists of a tiny robotic turtle operating a big one, allowing it to shoot at Sonic and Tails. The tiny turtles can be defeated, revealing regular turtles and chickens inside that fall to the ground. Once the tiny turtles are defeated, the big ones can be used as platforms. In the Master System and Game Gear versions, the Game-game enemy in Sky High Zone is a robotic turtle that can fly into the air when it goes inside its shell.
In Sonic Triple Trouble, there are various robotic turtle enemies with springs on their backs in Great Turquoise Zone. They can be destroyed with roll attacks, but jumping on their springs can allow Sonic and Tails to reach higher places and/or items. In the same game, the boss of Great Turquoise Zone is the Tart Turtle, a flying robotic turtle who can be defeated by hitting his underside multiple times. In the second phase of the battle, you'll need to use the aforementioned robotic turtle enemies to get up to him.
In Sonic Heroes, the Cameron enemy is a robotic turtle that comes in green and gold colors and appears as a recurring enemy in the game. Green Camerons can be destroyed with Power attacks, but Gold Camerons either have to be flipped on their backs to hit their undersides, or be destroyed with the Team Blast.
In Sonic Mania, in Titanic Monarch Zone, there is the Turbo Turtle, a small robotic turtle that carries a fan on its back, which can blow the player away.

The Simpsons:
"If I don't save the wee turtles, who will? Ah! Save me from the wee turtles! They were too quick for me!"
Homer encounters a magical tortoise in "El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Homer" that is going to lead him to a pyramid. However, Homer soon gets tired of its slowness and kicks it into the distance. When he reaches the tiny pyramid and is about to climb it, it suddenly becomes much higher, and he asks the turtle if it was punishment for kicking it. It happily nods yes.

In Miraculous Ladybug, Master Fu, the wise old man who chose Marinette and Adrien to receive the Miraculous, has a Miraculous of his own, the turtle. However, we don't get to see what powers it gives him, because he gets a cramp when he tries to transform. We finally get to see it in action during season 2, when Nino borrows it. It grants the power of protection, and its weapon is a shield.

In 3D games of the Tales Series, truck-sized tortoises are a common monster type. They tend to not be very threatening, due to moving and attacking slowly, and being very large targets. Tales of Symphonia has the enemies called turtles and their Tethe'allan counterparts crush turtles.

Final Fantasy XIV has a relatively mundane version of the Adamantoise that simply looks like an oversized tortoise, but it can be obtained as a mount that moves surprisingly fast and can even fly Gamera-style once you unlock the ability. Stormblood introduces the Kojin beast tribe who outwardly resemble turtles and live beneath the sea, though unlike the aforementioned Quadav, their shells are artificial and hand-crafted. Also in Stormblood is Genbu of the Four Lords, a wizened turtle with powerful water magic.

World of Warcraft has turtle beasts, typically immense and fanged, with heavy armour. Wild turtles can be tamed as Hunter pets and as one can expect, are good for tanking. Lastly, one of the trading card bonuses is a ridable turtle without any requirements, but it's not any faster than walking (and recently, a new turtle mount has been introduced, which is obtainable by fishing and gives movement speed bonuses only while swimming). One quest involves two talking turtles as well.
One dungeon has a turtle for a boss, called Ghamoo-ra. Another turtle in the wild is called Gammerita. Unlike Gamera, both are very much hostile, though.
Even larger turtles are or have been used as ships by the Horde and the tuskarr of Northrend. In Cataclysm we get to meet the even larger turtle ancient Tortolla (and combat his Evil Twin Nemesis, who is also on fire), and Mists of Pandaria takes it even further with Shen-zin Su, a Turtle Island of massive proportions.
The Pandaren's racial mount is a dragon turtle as well, and comes in the normal and epic speeds like any other. This averts the usual perception of turtles as slow, since they are indeed capable of sprinting when necessary.
As a Shout-Out to the Trope Namer, some of the wild turtles in Pandaria have a spinning attack called Turtle Power.

A sidequest in Golden Sun ends with a large turtle offering (through telepathy) to carry the party to his secret island, where they can fight powerful monsters and a sub-boss who grants a useful summon. To get him to offer this you have to bring him a baby turtle who relieves his loneliness, much to his surprised joy.

The second season has Tor the Shuttlezord. He's big, he's green, and more often than not the only way you'll know he's there is the growing shadow from him about to crush you from above. His counterpart in Gosei Sentai Dairanger was Daimugen, the mightiest of the Mythical Chi Beasts, but also the gentlest of them, preferring to stay away from conflict and taking on the form of a fat turtle-loving man named Kameos.

In Dinoverse Bertram's Ankylosaur body is frequently compared to that of a turtle, albeit one with more offensive capabilities. As descriptors go, "clumsy, shy, and slow" fit him well. He considers himself plodding but with a powerful intellect. Mike has to help him when he gets overturned, turtle-style. They also encounter a beach full of Archelon, enormous sea turtles, laying their eggs and being preyed on. Mike decides to try and attack their predators.

USWA and SMW had Kowabunga, known as Turtle Kamen in FMW. Basically a wrestling ninja turtle.* It should be noted Smoky Mountain only used him in dark matches in the smallest arenas they ran and only let him beat non wrestlers like Jim Cornette "to send the kids home happy". He was better known as referee Brian Hildebrand aka Dr. Mark Curtis.

Dungeons & Dragons had humanoid turtles called tortles (as well as an evil subrace called snappers) and giant turtles, including the snapping variety.
In second edition there were also giant turtles called zaratans frequently mistaken for islands. Their inhabitants tended to live in fear of it awakening and submerging.
Dragon Turtles (giant turtle-like marine dragons with a Breath Weapon of concentrated, superheated steam) have been a staple of the Monster Manual since the beginning.
The third-party DragonMech setting had humanoid turtles called tortogs, whose Feel No Pain made them very good at smuggling in an environment where agonizing micrometeorite showers are a nightly hazard.

Gets elaborated on in The Legend of Korra. Not only are the Lion Turtles the source of all bending, but they provided sanctuary for the humans back when the spirits colonized the planet and turned it into a Death World.

The Khamega from Slightly Damned are a race of 7ft semiaquatic turtle people that are (usually) laid-back and friendly . They are native to the Dragon Island Archipelago and some believe they are descended from the native dragons, physically they are stronger and tougher than humans or jakkai and magically superior to the latter but not the former, however their main drawbacks are that they are cold-blooded and can't travel far north as well as being slow and clumsy on land.

The Quadav from Final Fantasy XI are a large-scale subversion of Always Chaotic Evil. Think Indians vs. Colonists, and you can get an idea of why they fight back.
The ancient Sage Ghido from Final Fantasy V is the oldest living creature in the world, supremely wise, monumentally sarcastic (especially towards Bartz) and can engage Exdeath in hand-to-hand combat that leaves the young adventurers positively flabbergasted. He still needs help flipping over if knocked on his back, though.
In Final Fantasy VI, a turtle ferries the party across a subterranean lake into a cave that allows them to access Figaro Castle.
Adamantoise enemies from Final Fantasy XIII bear only a passing resemblance to turtles, but they've got the "power" part down.
Final Fantasy XIV has a relatively mundane version of the Adamantoise that simply looks like an oversized tortoise, but it can be obtained as a mount that moves surprisingly fast and can even fly Gamera-style once you unlock the ability. Stormblood introduces the Kojin beast tribe who outwardly resemble turtles and live beneath the sea, though unlike the aforementioned Quadav, their shells are artificial and hand-crafted. Also in Stormblood is Genbu of the Four Lords, a wizened turtle with powerful water magic.

In the tabletop RPG Werewolf: The Apocalypse, each tribe follows a specific totem whose beliefs, goals, and philosophies match those of the tribe. The extinct Croatan (yes, that Croatan) followed Turtle as their totem, due to their ties to the Earth element and the recurring myth that the world is carried on the back of a turtle. After the tribe's Heroic Sacrifice, Turtle withdrew his support from the werewolves for over 500 years. When the Old World of Darkness line ended, a possible scenario for the end of the world involved Turtle's return.
The Mokole weresaurians once had a chelonian subgroup, the Ao, who gradually disappeared over a period of time from the sixth century BCE to the first century CE. Unlike most fallen Changing Breeds, no-one knows what caused the Ao's disappearance.

In the Darkwing Duck Licensed Game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, there are turtle enemies that sneeze their shells at Darkwing and can only be hit when their shells are off. Interestingly, these enemies are still really tough, requiring six hits to go down, and since the shell acts like a boomerang, watch your back while attacking them.

One of the One Piece movies featured an island that turned out to be giant turtle, which the Big Bad had set his eyes on manipulating to help him Take Over the World.
One of the Four Emperors, Big Mom, has a crewmember named Mr. Pekoms, who has a Turtle Zoan. However, he is also a sentient Lion, making him a Mix-and-Match Critter.
Miss All Sunday also used a turtle as her main means of transportation back when she was a villain. No one knows where that turtle is now.

Pokémon:
Squirtle, a water-shooting turtle is one of the starters in the first two games; it was pretty popular, likely because it evolves into Wartortle and finally Blastoise, a giant turtle with cannons on its shell.
There's also Torkoal from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a fiery tortoise. Even moreso come Pokémon Sun and Moon, where it was blessed with Drought, letting it automatically summon harsh sunlight upon entering battle.
Another turtle starter, Grass-type Turtwig was available in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It evolves into Grotle and finally Torterra, a gigantic tortoise with a forest growing on its back. To this date, Torterra is the only Grass/Ground type in existence.
The fifth generation adds Tirtouga and Carracosta, based on the prehistoric Archelon.
Pokémon Sun and Moon has Turtonator, a giant, explosive, Fire/Dragon-type turtle based off both the Kappa and the South American mata mata turtle.
Pokémon Sword and Shield gives us Chewtle (Water-type) and Dreadnaw, (Water/Rock type) based off the alligator snapping turtle.

On Futurama, in "Crimes of the Hot", Bender is moved by the plight of African turtles migrating to Holland because of global warming because they remind him of the one he loves the most: himself (referencing Bladerunner, where the question of helping an inverted turtle is one of the questions used to test for emotions, thus proving someone isn't a robot).

In Magic: The Gathering, Turtles are classic low power/high toughness creatures which, unusually for most creatures, can be found as both Blue and Green with regularity. Horned Turtle is a classic example, while others include the plain ol' Giant Turtle and Giant Tortoise. The slowest turtle is the Meandering Towershell, which moves so slowly that whenever it attacks, it takes a turn to actually reach your opponent.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has a turtle enemy called Snapper, and an island that turns out to be a giant turtle (which also appears in the Great Bay stage of Super Smash Bros. Melee).
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past has a number of turtle-themed enemies. There are actual turtles in the Palace of Darkness which can't be killed until you can flip them over with the Magic Hammer you find in that dungeon, and the boss of Turtle Rock Dungeon is Trinexx, a three-headed, tri-elemental dragon tortoise.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening continues this theme. Its version of Turtle Rock comes to life thanks to an ocarina song, and must be destroyed before you can enter the dungeon it guards.

In Sonic Triple Trouble, there are various robotic turtle enemies with springs on their backs in Great Turquoise Zone. They can be destroyed with roll attacks, but jumping on their springs can allow Sonic and Tails to reach higher places and/or items. In the same game, the boss of Great Turquoise Zone is the Tart Turtle, a flying robotic turtle who can be defeated by hitting his underside multiple times. In the second phase of the battle, you'll need to use the aforementioned robotic turtle enemies to get up to him.

The ancient Sage Ghido from Final Fantasy V is the oldest living creature in the world, supremely wise, monumentally sarcastic (especially towards Bartz) and can engage Exdeath in hand-to-hand combat that leaves the young adventurers positively flabbergasted.

While the tortoise failed to impress her in speed or coolness, he proves to be the most dedicated when he ends up saving her from an avalanche. To counteract the fact that tortoises can't fly, Tank gets modified with a helicopter rotor that straps to his shell.

More specifically, in The Dark Tower series the Turtle is one of the old gods/guardians which protect the foundations of the Tower itself.
There's also a small figurine referred to as the "sköldpadda" that is used by the ka-tet; it has hypnotic effects which make people very open to suggestion. The name literally means "turtle" in Swedish, and it was coined by a Swedish diplomat Susannah meets in 1999, and due to its influence he cheerfully gives her directions and money for a hotel stay.

Dragon Ball had not only Master Roshi, the Turtle Hermit (whose Training from Hell involves wearing huge turtle shells on your back all day), but also his pet turtle, which also happened to be a competent martial artist, and "Baby Gamera".
And the signature move of the series has the Japanese word for "turtle" in the name. Roughly translated, it means "Turtle Destruction Wave". How cool is that?
Word of God says he was inspired by a trip to Hawaii, and a statue of their King Kamehameha. The rest is history.

In Ensemble Stars!, Souma initially wanted to join the Marine Bio Club when he was shown a video about sea turtles, which moved him greatly and made him very excited to see them in real life. Unfortunately, Kanata immediately informs him that sea turtles are actually endangered and can't be kept as pets. However, they do have pond turtles at the club, and Souma swiftly becomes attached to them, particularly one he nicknames 'Kamegorou' and eventually becomes the effective owner of, regularly cooking for and taking care of him.

On Stargate Atlantis, Dr. Beckett decides that the ideal pet for him would be turtles, as they don't require much care or space (any animal that did require such would be unfairly served by him and his job) but are still appealing to him. He reveals this when they're leaving on a particularly dangerous mission, and he realizes he never left any instructions that the "baby wee turtles" should be cared for, lamenting, "Ah've prob'ly killed them." Deleted scenes from a later episode establish that the turtles survived, and that after Carson died, they passed into Rodney's care.

Adamantoise enemies from Final Fantasy XIII bear only a passing resemblance to turtles, but they've got the "power" part down.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, from a line of the Theme Tune. They're a slight Not a Subversion since they're in no way clumsy... except Michelangelo sometimes. The second movie introduced a stupid infant snapping turtle in Tokka.

There's also Torkoal from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, a fiery tortoise. Even moreso come Pokémon Sun and Moon, where it was blessed with Drought, letting it automatically summon harsh sunlight upon entering battle.

The Turtle Tamer is a class in Kingdom of Loathing. Their ultimate ability is actually called "Turtle Power". They're essentially The Beastmaster with turtles, being in tune with ancient turtle spirits who give them blessings and able to tame turtles as familiars (hence the name). Live turtles are also used in lieu of helmets, apparently without any harm to the turtle. You can even get them upgraded with linoleum or chrome plating.

The third-party DragonMech setting had humanoid turtles called tortogs, whose Feel No Pain made them very good at smuggling in an environment where agonizing micrometeorite showers are a nightly hazard.

Sgt. Frog: One episode has Tamama coming across a tortoise in the countryside, plodding along the same path day after day. It's revealed later on that Fuyuki had that tortoise as a pet but lost it several years ago, and it's done nothing but make its way back to its breeder ever since. It succeeds.

Terraria:
Giant Tortoises in the Underground Jungle and Ice Tortoises in Underground Snow. They have lots of health and armor and are pretty slow, but they utilize a fast spinning attack to move around and deal heavy damage.
You can collect Turtle Shells from the Giant Tortoises to craft the Turtle Armor, which boasts extremely high defense and a Set Bonus of reflecting damage back to physical attackers.
1.2.4 adds the Turtle Mount, which improves your mobility underwater when in use.

Dwarf Fortress has its share of turtles and tortoises, naturally, but the Giant Tortoise has gained a surprising amount of popularity among the more domestication-minded players. Due to the fact they actually retract into their shells, they quickly become close to unkillable to unarmed enemies and even wooden arrows, which lets them survive events many other pets would be slaughtered in. And if they find Gigantic Tortoises, their even bigger wild variants, all the better: they retract into their shells too, shells so thick entire squadrons of people can hit them with iron weapons all day and night and achieve nothing, making them excellent distractions.
