After they learn how to walk on two legs, tortles are expected to fend for themselves. Tortles crawl for the first few weeks of their life. Other than using the slash and burn farming method (which leeches nutrients from the soil), tortles generally live in harmony with nature. Few races are able to look past the reptilian aspects of both their species, because of this, they get along. Tortle tribes are friendly to most if not all races but are especially friendly toward peaceful Lizardfolk. They live under the servitude of the Chief of the Tribe, who rules like a monarch, with their descendants taking the mantle once they pass. They live in hunter/gatherer style tribes and are ignorant of modern technology, normally living in mud and straw huts. They tend to move and speak in a slower, more mild fashion, compared to the other dwellers of the material plane. Tortles are peaceful and reclusive and tend to get along well with races with similar habits and personalities. Tortles can wield most weapons as easily as humans, though they usually do not wear clothing, only sometimes wearing cloaks, belts, or harnesses for carrying tools and supplies. Their arms and hands are shaped like those of humans, but thicker. Tortles are stocky, but most of their weight comes from their shells, so they tend to remain at the same weight throughout their adult lives, never growing fat or thin. A Tortle's mouth is beak-like and toothless and can deliver a vicious bite. Their back shells are usually shinier and darker than their skin, while their front shells tend to be lighter, with a yellowish cast.
Tortles have no hair their skin is mostly olive or blue-green. An adult Tortle stands just under 6 feet tall and weighs more than 750 pounds. The creatures have leathery, reptilian skin and shells that cover their backs and bellies. They walk upright with a ponderous, rolling gait.
