Sea turtles are passive animals that spawn along beaches, and can be seen emerging from the ocean or dragging themselves along close to shore.

Gameplay[]

Being aquatic turtles, they move slowly across land and are easy prey. As of v0.25, they have no animations other than crawling, and seem to have no real goal after coming ashore. They drop one turtle shell, which can be used to craft the water collector, or as a sled as of v0.67, and two meats, which can be cooked or dried and eaten.

Unlike the tortoise, they are very easy to kill and almost always die after a single strike.
