Template:Bestiary

Swamp Turtles are tall, passive creatures that quietly roam the swamplands at a glacially slow pace. They have wrinkly, mossy green skin, long snouts, and wide "shells" that resemble a mushroom cap. These gentle giants are entirely peaceful unless attacked. They drop enormous amounts of meat, if one can bring oneself to assault such a noble beast.

Swamp Turtles can be found alone or in pairs in The Swamp. In the South Wetlands, they can be found in groups of 6.

Trivia

  • Unlike all other animals in Kenshi Swamp Turtles do not have a weapon assigned to them. Because of this the game instead gives them a random ancient quality weapon instead. (Due to this you'll find Swamp Turtles with + and - attack/defense depending on which weapon they spawned with).
  • Swamp Turtles also have an incorrect attack animation assigned to them. This means that, when players do take damage from them, they do not actually see the attack animation play. The attack animation also somewhat determines what type of attack the Swamp Turtles have, which in this case is supposed to be a stomp AoE attack. The mod, Swamp Turtle FIX, resolves this issue by changing the attack animation to the correct one. Please note that by using the mod Swamp Turtles will be MUCH more dangerous.
