Dragon Turtle

Creature 9 — amphibious, dragon

These immense aquatic dragons have rocky shells similar to those of tortoises and flippers powerful enough to overturn hardy vessels. The fearsome creatures enjoy being considered as dangerous as storms or natural disasters by seafaring folk. Despite their reputation, many dragon turtles delight in secretly observing seafaring cities grow and evolve throughout the ages. They have even been known to protect such cities from pirates, invading armies, or even other dangerous sea creatures. Accordin

Abilities

Shell Block —
Capsize (attack) — The dragon turtle tries to capsize an adjacent aquatic vessel of their size or smaller. The dragon turtle must succeed at a DC 30 Athletics check (reduce the DC by 5 for each size smaller than the dragon turtle) or the pilot's Sailing Lore DC, whichever is higher.
Conjure Storm (air, aura, primal, water) — The dragon turtle summons a mighty storm to rage around themself. The area in a 30-foot emanation around the turtle becomes difficult terrain for all other flying and swimming creatures. The dragon turtle can end the storm by taking this action again.
Draconic Frenzy — The dragon turtle makes two Claw Strikes and one Jaws Strike in any order.
Tsunami (primal, water) — The dragon turtle unleashes their destructive prowess by creating a massive growing wave that deals 7d6 bludgeoning damage in a 60-foot cone (DC 27 Reflex save). The wave's damage increases by 10 for creatures who are more than 30 feet away. A creature that fails its save is knocked Prone. The dragon turtle can't use Tsunami again for 1d4 rounds.
