Copper turtles are known to be the most common variant of turtle, and are named as such because of the brilliant copper like coloration that adorns the borders of the their shells. These turtles are incredibly harmless, although quite giant, and do not mind interaction with mages, or anyone for that matter. Easy going and calm, their passive nature used to make them a strong focus for soups and stews, and until recently, most mages considered it silly to own such a creature, until it was discovered that they held a direct relationship to the stone god.
This soft, leathery egg bears strange metallic flecks.
Baby
Although it is still hiding from you in most instances, you can clearly see that what has hatched from the egg is a form of turtle. The bright coloration on its shell is incredibly beautiful, and the spines on it protect it from being bothered by most interactions.

Although it is still hiding from you in most instances, you can clearly see that what has hatched from the egg is a form of turtle. The bright coloration on its shell is incredibly beautiful, and the spines on it protect it from being bothered by most interactions. Awww look! It has come out of its shell! It seems to be incredibly lazy though, and refuses to do much of anything except for sleep and eat. You can attempt to move it anywhere and it will not complain, instead just continuing on with its day as though nothing has happened.
Adult
Your hatchling has grown now, and its magnificent colors impress you quite thoroughly. Sometimes, flakes of iridescent green shell will shed on the floor, and you are more than happy to collect them to sell or craft into jewelry. It has still retained its incredibly laid back personality, and because of this you have yet to find a use for it, other than harvesting its shell shed. Even so, it remains a part of your growing menagerie, either for some unseen intrinsic value, or for the sheer purpose of owning everything there is to own.
