The Archelon is a massive sea turtle, gliding through prehistoric oceans with slow, deliberate grace. Its leathery shell and flipper span stretch over 13 feet, and though herbivorous and peaceful by nature, its sheer size and armored body make it difficult to ignore. Often mistaken for small islands from afar, archelons are sometimes followed by reef fish or seabirds, and considered good omens by coastal cultures. |
