{"name":"Tortle","description":"Tortles have a saying: \u201cWe wear our homes on our backs.\u201d These turtle folk live on many worlds, most often journeying up and down coasts, along waterways, and across the sea. Tortles don\u2019t have a unified story of how they were created, but they all have a sense of being mystically connected to the natural world. Carrying their shelter on their backs gives tortles a special feeling of security wherever they go, for even if they visit a far, unknown country, they have a place to lay their heads.","creaturetype":"Humanoid","size":"Medium (about 5\u20137 feet tall) or Small (about 2\u20134 feet tall)","speed":"30 feet","traits":"[b][i]Claws.[\/i][\/b] You have claws that you can use to make unarmed strikes.
