Giant Tortoise

The Giant Tortoise is an exceptionally dangerous hardmode Jungle enemy known for the Turtle Shell drop. Turtle Shells, when combined with several Chlorophyte Bars, make the Turtle armor.

Despite the Giant Tortoise's large body, it can hurl itself through the sky at the player with frightening accuracy, dealing incredible damage. The Giant Tortoise looks like a green (and highly agile) Galápagos tortoise.

Tips

 * Damaging a Giant Tortoise causes them to stop their attack animation, meaning weapons with a high speed (e.g. the Megashark) can be used to dispatch a Giant Tortoise with minimal hassle.
 * When fighting one of these monsters, it is best to be on a flat surface so you can move left or right to dodge the attacks.
 * Try using Weapons that do continuous Damage because their movement can be slowed down insanely even in air.
 * They can spawn falling from the sky above the player.
 * Try using a crowd control weapon if there is at least two due to the fact when you hit one they severely slow down.
