These creatures feel very similar in appearance to the mythological "dragon turtle," but choose to call themselves Cheluogi (pronounced chay-loo-OH-guy). They are migratory creatures of the ocean who live in large groups, although they mention awareness of cousins who live in larger rivers. Energetically, they feel ancient, wise, and peaceful. In their realm, they are near-mythological beasts considered to "hold up the world" - responsible for creating and maintaining the atmosphere itself, although you'd be hard-pressed to get one to give you a straight answer about the truth of that myth. They are a people who are always able to take whatever is thrown at them, and not even react because they are so confident and sure.
Biology
They are massive beings, their adult size being easily the length of about four buses, and ten feet tall from the bottom of their belly to the top of their shell. Their shells appear to be made of stone, and are spiked like that of an alligator snapping turtle, but are patterned beautifully in a range of dark colors, banded in varying shades like malachite, often with algae or moss growing on them. One of their most striking features is colored bioluminescence, which can appear in patterns on their shells and any other place this stone-like material grows naturally on their body. Their eyes glow as well. Their necks are long, thick, and scaly, and end in a head that is round and kind-looking, with a pointed beak, and a set of two or three pairs of horns sprouting from the top of their skull, in addition to thick pieces of stone armor that are made of the same material as their shell. They have long tails with webbed flukes on the end. Their legs are long and stocky like tree trunks, and anatomically shaped like the legs of a tortoise, with wide, webbed and clawed feet. They are capable of walking on land for short periods of time, and certainly have the legs for it in contrast to sea turtles, although they could not sustain a life, or else they would dry out and perish. Of course, this should not be a concern within companionship, as since they are living entities from another realm, they will simply be astral traveling to visit you when they can.

Disposition & Manifestation
Social Structure
In Companionship
When it comes to companionship, they are wonderful protectors and friends. Naturally, they are very adept at shielding magic, able to create barriers that are fundamentally sound and thoroughly charged, able to do this in a matter of minutes due to their size and prowess. In the case of running into active threats that break through their shield, their massive size and aura alone is intimidating enough to scare off those who are weaker-willed, and they are not afraid to use their beak to snap at anything that comes close enough to warrant a threat.
