The Time Turtle is a turtle with the noteworthy trait of being excessively slow. In fact, he is slow enough to be able to saunter right through the passing of time into the chronoplasm. This gives the creature a rarely matched freedom of time. It is within the Time Turtle's power to bring others along on his journeys and this he can be forced to do with no possibility of direct resistance. The Time Turtle is therefore an worthwhile acquisition for malicious parties. Indirectly, however, the Time Turtle still understands his own powers best and can manipulate fate to prevent himself being made use of.
Character[]
Background[]
The Time Turtle's origins, name, and age are unknown, as are how he ended up in a pet store in St. Canard and how Chronoduck found out about his existence, let alone could recognize him amidst the selection of turtles for sale. Whatever the scenario, during his time in St. Canard, he was abducted and made a tool of Chronoduck's criminal activities. By allying with Gosalyn Mallard, the Time Turtle ensured the return of his freedom. His current whereabouts are unconfirmed.
Personality[]
Detached, but morally on the right track, the Time Turtle spends his days being unremarkable. Only when he is bothered by a negative fate does he move into action to change the course of events to come for the better.
Appearance[]
The Time Turtle is a small, grey-green turtle that looks no different from any other small, grey-green turtle.
