Carbonemys, a big turtle with a very high-armor shell. Its saddle comes early, at level 10, so it is often the first tank a new player rides.
Where to find it

- ASA: also Astraeos.
- ASE: also Fjordur.
Taming
A knockout tame and a herbivore. Its shell absorbs a lot of damage, so bring plenty of tranquilizer ammo. Feed it crops, berries or herbivore kibble.
Breeding
- Egg: hatches in about 1 hour 15 minutes.
- Temperature: warm, 30 to 34 °C.
- Growth: a baby matures in about 23 hours at 1x.
Uses

Raw Meat, 
Hide and 
Keratin.
Tips
It is slow, so use it close to base or as a guard rather than for long trips.
