Awkward on land, but swimming slowly, yet gracefully, in the sea, Sea Turtle Dragons are content to spend their time in the waters of the Fishspine Reef. They spend the majorities of their long lives in the water and are capable of holding their breath for up to seven hours underwater. Remarkably, these snappers are quite able to swim with ease, unlike many of their other brethren, whom seem to sink to the bottom. Their hides are extremely tough and thick, able to repel attacks with ease.

These dragons are often tenders of reefs and kelp forests, protecting them from those who wish them harm and helping to control the populations of the native species. When it comes time for them to nest, they haul themselves up onto the sandy shores to lay their eggs, covering them with sand and leaving them to hatch.
