THE THIRD STAGE OF DEVELOPEMENT, THE TURTLE, IS LARGE AND BULKY. IT DEVELOPES A THICK EXOSKELETON THAT IS BETTER THAN A TANK'S. THIS SHELL WEIGHS IT DOWN CONSIDERABLY SO THE BEAST IS VERY SLOW.

ON IT'S BACK ARE TWO VENT LIKE PORES WHICH IT USES TO PUMP OUT ACIDIC LIQUIDS THAT WHEN EXPOSED TO AIR COMBUST ON CONTACT. THE RESULTING JETS OF FLAME CAN TAKE DOWN A MARINE IN A FEW SECONDS AT CLOSE RANGE...BUT ONLY AT CLOSE RANGE...

 

BEWARE THE COPPER TONE TURTLES...

NOTES FROM IAN: THIS GUY WAS MY FIRST 3D RENDERED MODEL OF THE GAME. HE WAS ORIGINALY HAND DRAWN IN BUT THAT PROVED ANNOYING. SO NOW IT HAS BEEN RENDERED IN AND THEN TOUCHED UP USING PHOTO SHOP TO GIVE IT A MORE ORGANIC LOOK.

THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS A MORE ROUND MODEL. IT RESEMBLED A LIZARD ALMOST. BUT IN THE LAST STAGES OF CREATION IT WAS GIVEN POINTIER FEATURES TO MATCH THE OTHER ORGANICS.

BUT DOESN'T THE LITTLE BUG FACE LOOK SO CUTE?
