They are mostly herbivorous, though some consume insects, worms, and similar vermin. They tend to be very long-lived and are not aggressive, withdrawing their neck and limbs into their rock-hard shells when threatened. \n'b'  Ancient Ones . These enormous reptiles are nigh immortal and infused with the wisdom of ages, both with their knowledge and their supernatural connections to wisdom beyond mortal imagining. These immense tortoises never stop growing, and plants and even trees sometimes grow upon their enormous shells, giving them the appearance of small, moving hillocks. \n'b'  Common Tortoise . The tortoise is a popular pet in some lands and sometimes as a familiar among wizards, despite its ponderous movement. \n'b'  Island Tortoise . These tortoises have a distinctive high dome-shaped shell that can span several feet high and can wear up to 500 pounds. They are large and strong enough to bear a rider or carry heavy loads, though their slow movement makes them unsuitable as beasts of burden.'
