Nocturtle

A concept I've been kicking around for updating the vampire type, Nocturtle. Its current version, with a shell made of giant barnacles, just feels a little redundant with some other monsters. But what if its shell were like a cave? And it was filled with tiny symbiotic mutant vampire bats? Spookier, vampire-ier, and not something I've seen done in a turtle monster before.

You know, I think you should just have two turtle monsters. The matamata one as a vampire, and the snapping turtle as something else. For the snapping turtle, maybe you can go back to its basic roots and give it a swarm of leeches again. You can reference the fact that turtle leeches brood their young. You can do a 2 for 1 special and have a leech replace its tongue as a reference to both cymathoa and the fact alligator snapping turtles have a wormlike lure attached to their tongue.

I'm not sure what you mean. The shell is already part of its body, and since it is a vampirized matamata it would retain a shell even if it no longer functioned effectively as armor.

I love the idea of the 'lost cove' shell, and it looks really great! One thing I'd look into in its design would be 'why the shell?'. Not as in why pick a shell at all, but rather what does this thing do with the shell or what benefit does it gain from the shell beyond the obvious protection.
