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.
Innate Spellcasting
Monster Manual (5e) p.86 provides rules for adding Innate Spellcasting to young-ancient dragons. Fizban's Treasury of Dragons p.110 indicates this applies to dragon turtles and provides suggested spells.
Dragon Turtle's Lair
[5] Dragon turtles make their lairs in underwater caves and coral reefs.
Lair Actions
[5] When fighting inside its lair, an dragon turtle can use lair actions. On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the dragon takes a lair action to cause one of the following effects; the dragon can’t use the same effect two rounds in a row:
- Blasting Current.
- Entangling Kelp.
- Steam Eruption.
Regional Effects
[5] The region surrounding a legendary dragon turtle's lair is altered by the dragon's magic, creating one or more of the following effects:
- Diverting Currents.
- Elemental Portals.
- Hot Water.
If the dragon dies, these effects fade over the course of 1d10 days.
