Demi-Tortle[edit]
Physical Description[edit]
Demi-Tortles are humanoid. Adult Demi-Tortles stand at roughly 5'-6'6" and can weight upto 350 pounds. Their smaller shells and leaner frames make them much lighter than their Tortle forefathers. They've lost the ability to retract into their shells but have retained their claws and scales. They are unable to grow hair but have shown that they can have different colored eyes.

History[edit]
An alchemist wanting to make chimera experimented on Tortle eggs, splicing them with his own human DNA. After many failures, he finally found success with the last 10 pairs of eggs he had.
The eggs hatched and grew. The alchemist commissioned builders to make a few homes for the Demi-Tortles. Eventually they reproduced. The alchemist commissioned more homes for them as their small colony grew.
The Demi-Tortles showed the same versatility in knowledge, combat, and magic that humans have, with some of the and physicality as their Tortle heritage.
Society[edit]
Their small community grew. Under the tutelage of the old alchemist, they grew to like magic. The community is close and tight knit.
They've developed a tribal system where the leader is chosen through a series of physical and mental challenges every 10 years. The winner will be the chief of the village while the previous leaders will act as advisors.
Demi-Tortles, like Tortles, are a generally peaceful race. Their martial prowess comes from finding tranquility in training.
Demi-Tortles reach maturity at age 40 and have a lifespan of 250-300 years. Also, unlike Tortles, they begin mating midway through their lives and continue to do so until they're about 200 years old. They only produce 10-15 eggs at a time that take 8 months to hatch.
Demi-Tortle Names[edit]
