Leatherback turtles can live in the kelp forest, open ocean, reef, and estuary!

Abilities:

• Boosting will make the leatherback turtle lunge forward and deal 163 damage, using a boost bar.

• Using a charged boost will make the leatherback turtle create a shield around itself that lasts for 1.5 seconds or until it is broken, using a boost bar.

  • The shield has 200 HP, and deals 130 damage to animals that touch it, bypassing armor.

  • Animals that touch the shield will deal damage to it even if they are not facing it.

  • When the shield is active, the leatherback will not take damage from other animals. The shield destroys projectiles, but it takes damage in the process.

  • Attacks that cause bleeding will make the leatherback turtle bleed, even if the shield is active. Attacks that electrocute the leatherback turtle will disable the shield.

• Using a charged boost while being grabbed by animals (except for anaconda and lobster) will break through the grab, stunning the other animal for 0.5 seconds and using a boost bar.

• Being damaged on the head will bypass the leatherback turtle's armor, and it will take full damage.

• Leatherback turtles cannot damage or be damaged by animals on tier 1 (except for worm and piranha), but they can still damage them with the shield.

Strategies: Leatherback turtles are defensive animals. Don't waste your boost unless it is an emergency. If you are grabbed and thrown into a biome you don't belong in, use your shield to protect your escape, then airboost away. Try not to break out of grabs too much as it wastes boost bars.
