Snapping turtle

Delvin attacks a snapping turtle close to Grasslake in the spring of 1153.

The snapping turtle is a large freshwater turtle which is occasionally found in the Mouse Territories.

Appearance and characteristics[]

The snapping turtle has tough, thorny skin, a long tail, stubby legs, claws and a bony snout all set under a ridged shell. The beast has a notoriously bad attitude. It would sooner take a bite out of something than look at it, and will eat just about anything.

Fortunately for mice, the snapping turtle is slow-moving and stays close to water. But if one should get the drop on a mouse, it can swallow it whole.[1]
