A lion turtle meeting with a human, [Source] Older than history, stronger than giants, and wiser than gods, lion turtles have roamed this world since before anyone can remember and will most likely do so long after. Few can even claim to have possibly seen the wandering islands and moving forests. Fewer still can boast the extraordinary honor of having talked to one. For as big as they are, they are masters of hiding from prying eyes and only speak to mortals under dire circumstances, such as when tyrants plan genocides, when powerful demons close in on the world, and when all hope seems lost. So if you ever find yourself on the receiving end of a lion turtle's words, listen well, for your life and the lives of thousands, even millions of people may depend on it. In the distant past, lion turtles have passed on many powers that humans have come to believe to be innate to their reality, or gifts from other beings, due to their reclusive nature. Lion turtles have massive turtle shells, lion heads, lion tails, and webbed lion paws. On their backs are functioning ecosystems, with trees, grass, and flowers, which do not harm the Lion Turtle in any way. They stand at several stories tall (from the bottom of its foot to the tops of its shoulder) and are at least three times as long. Their hearts alone can weigh up to 120 tons.
