Sticking with aquatic Grimm, because we have a criminal shortage of those, and we're going bigger. Way bigger.

Name: Terrorpin.

Inspiration: Sea turtle.

Environment: Oceans.

Appearance: Terrorpins are sea turtle-like Grimm about as big as a Queen Lancer. They have a beak-like snout and four paddle flippers for forward movement, as well as a short tail. They have only two eyes, however, each eye is the size of Neopolitan due to the need for good eyesight down in the depths.

Armourings: Bony shell, obligatory faceplate.

Aesthetics: Some specimens of Terrorpins have been observed with bits of seaweed growing on their shells, likely from spending so much time underwater. Others have barnacles attached to their shells.

Behaviour: Terrorpins are normally very placid Grimm, crusing the ocean in small groups of two or three. When a human or Faunus vessel is detected, they close on the ship and send its passengers to a watery grave.

Attacks: Biting, ramming.

Powers: Terrorpins can increase their defensive ability tenfold by withdrawing into their shells, making them almost impervious to damage. They can also suck in water and other detritus in front of their mouths and spit it back out as a weapon.

Weaknesses: The flesh inside their mouths and shells is very soft and suceptible to damage.

Notes: Yeah, I made a not very hostile turtle Grimm. This one wasn't quite extreme enough for me, so I took it to the logical extreme, as you shall see below...

Elder variant: Island Terrorpin.

Appearance: Mostly the same as a regular Terrorpin, but far, far larger - as the name suggests, roughly the size of a small island. There are thought to be only a few hundred of these creatures slumbering beneath the surface of Remnant's oceans. A few of the bigger ones are theorised to be the size of Menagerie.

Armourings: Same as the regular form, with the addition of armour on the fins.

Aesthetics: Unsurprisingly for something of this scale, specimens of Island Terrorpins have been observed to possess small coral reefs on their back, supporting a small ecosystem of lesser aqautic Grimm and other sea animals.

Additional Powers: Does 'really freaking big' count as a power? Otherwise, its immense size and armoured shell make it almost immune to human weaponry, except the powers of a Silver-Eyed Warrior.

I decided to take the old 'island-is-actually-a-really-freaking-big-turtle' concept and Grimmify it. So, what do you guys think?
