Flavor Text

: The shell on its back is chemically unstable and explodes violently if struck. The hole in its stomach is its weak point.
: It gushes fire and poisonous gases from its nostrils. Its dung is an explosive substance and can be put to various uses.
: It lives in volcanoes and eats sulfur and other minerals. Materials from the food it eats form the basis of its explosive shell.
: Its exploding shell poses a real danger but is sensitive to moisture. On rainy days, Turtonator takes silent refuge in caves.
