Description
Aspidochelone is a folkloric creature usually described as a giant turtle with an entire island on top of its shell. Weary travelers, thinking they can land safely, will inevitably be shaken off or downed when the creature submerges.Related content

I absolutely love this design; I have a soft spot for things chelonian and that cheerful-old-giant grin on this superb creature is icing on the cake! My congratulations and my thanks for sharing this with us.

There's a similar creature described by writer Al-Jahiz called the Saratan, but it's an island-sized crab: abookofcreatures.com/2015/06/2…
