This list of mythical creatures that begin with this letter and I am constantly gathering information from each continent, and is continually being updated.
Dragon Turtle (Chinese)
Dragon turtles were aquatic creatures that were related to dragons. They were considered among the most dangerous aquatic creatures in existence and were even worshiped by some. Dragon turtles were distantly related to dragons and had dragon blood. They appeared as huge turtle-like creatures with a long tail and neck with large, taloned flippers. Their heads had a golden crest down the center. The scales of a dragon turtle were generally smooth, but overtime becoming more coarse until finally being molted.
By that time the scales had lost much of their durability. Dragon turtles were aggressive and solitary creatures who would attack any ships and other dragon turtles that entered their territory. Like true dragons, dragon turtles were obsessed with gold and treasure. They often attacked ships in order to loot the treasure. After sifting through the wreckage, the creatures would carry the valuables back to their lair in their mouths.
