'''Giant tortoises''' are the "mundane" version of [[gigantic tortoise]]s. They appear in groups of 5-10 in tropical areas, and can live up to 200 years. When fully grown, male giant tortoises are roughly as large as a common [[donkey]], and twice the size of female giant tortoises. All giant tortoises are equally slow, moving at less than a third of the default [[speed]].

Giant tortoises can be [[tame]]d and kept as low-value [[pet]]s, farmed for [[egg]]s, or bred for a [[meat industry]]. They produce a moderate amount of meat without tying up your [[pasture]]land, and their [[shell]]s can prove valuable for fulfilling [[strange mood]] requests. Note, however, that giant tortoises require five years to reach full adult size.
 
  
 
Interestingly, only [[male]]s seem to produce nose cartilage when butchered (which currently has no real use, and there are far better ways to determine gender).
