Battle[]
The Aspidochelon will not actually seek the party out and attack; rather, it moves back and forth up the waterfall path, relying on groups of other enemies to shield it. When confronted, the Aspidochelon will put up a tough defense, but its attacking capabilities are next to nothing. Its ability, Shelter, raises its own Defense.

Etymology[]
According to the tradition of the Physiologus and medieval bestiaries, the aspidochelone is a fabled sea creature, variously described as a large whale or vast sea turtle, and a giant sea monster with huge spines on the ridge of its back.
