Ecology: Mostly solitary predators, Turturcassis specializes in turtles, its long, narrow head perfectly suited to burrowing inside turtle shells to dig out the tender meat inside.

Personality/Motivation: Typical animal motivations.

Powers/Tactics: A Turturcassis will usually snap at a turtle's flippers, immobilizing the animal, then work its head inside, devouring the turtle as it goes. They are often seen lounging on river banks, wearing nearly empty turtle shells as helmets as they worry loose every scrap of flesh.

Appearance: Turturcassis is a long-necked, four-flippered aquatic reptile with the same general body shape as a plesiosaurus.

Designer's Notes: The Turturcassis is based off of the plesiosaurus character sheet found in the HERO System Bestiary. It didn't appear in King Kong.
