Giant tortoise

Giant tortoise
The giant tortoise is a monster added in the 1.2 update. It tends to creep backwards, and leap at the player, attempting to squash them. The hit is enough to wipe out a player with 150hp, wearing meteor armour. They cant attack from close range, so get a fairly big sword, and attack from 2-3 blocks away.

Overview
It spawns in the jungle biome at night, after the WoF is defeated (Hard-mode) It is a little risky trying to obtain it's shell, because of it's 25 defense shell layer.
