Steel Turtle (4e Creature)
From D&D Wiki
This creature resembles the normal large turtle, but has a shell as hard as steel. The shell is dotted with spines that can shoot out like pointy rockets when the turtle is threatened. Their strong jaws are also reinforced with metal, making them a walking tank.

A character knows the following information with a successful Nature check:
DC 15: The turtle's diet consists of a variety of minerals to bolster its shell. Its shell is thus worth a decent market price.
