'''Tortolla''' (previously called '''Tortollus''') is the [[Turtle#Background|turtle demigod]] and, much like [[Malorne]] and [[Goldrinn]], an [[Ancient guardian]]. He is the patron ancient to all creatures who move effortlessly between land and sea. According to [[Hamuul Runetotem]], he is one of the oldest of the Ancients, having been alive since the time of the Titans. Due to that, he speaks in an old language that has been long forgotten, which proves incomprehensible (at least initially) to players.

Like many of Azeroth's ancients, Tortolla took part in the [[War of the Ancients]] in order to defend his world. Initially, the Burning Legion took little heed to him, as he was both nonthreatening and sluggish. However, this proved a fatal mistake, as he was able to easily crush hundreds of his enemies with his sheer weight and powerful jaws. Not only that, but his stony skin and hardened shell proved impossible for even the most powerful of the Burning Legion to pierce. He was one the few, if not the only, ancient to not fall during the war, being able to cover the retreat of the mortal races so that they could ultimately regroup and seal the portal. According to Hamuul, after the war he was found underneath a mountain of demon corpses, and slowly asked if they had won once he had shaken them off.

Although Tortolla apparently wasn't seriously injured, he needed time to recover from the war and chose to slumber in the healing silt of Hyjal. He did not awaken until [[the Shattering]] itself roused him, and so when the [[Twilight's Hammer]] came to capture him he was not ready. After players free him and his unborn children, he is prepared to bring down his wrath and that of his children alongside the [[Guardians of Hyjal]].

Tortolla (previously called Tortollus) is the turtle demigod and, much like Malorne and Goldrinn, an Ancient guardian. He is the patron ancient to all creatures who move effortlessly between land and sea. According to Hamuul Runetotem, he is one of the oldest of the Ancients, having been alive since the time of the Titans. Due to that, he speaks in an old language that has been long forgotten, which proves incomprehensible (at least initially) to players.

Biography

Like many of Azeroth's ancients, Tortolla took part in the War of the Ancients in order to defend his world. Initially, the Burning Legion took little heed to him, as he was both nonthreatening and sluggish. However, this proved a fatal mistake, as he was able to easily crush hundreds of his enemies with his sheer weight and powerful jaws. Not only that, but his stony skin and hardened shell proved impossible for even the most powerful of the Burning Legion to pierce. He was one the few, if not the only, ancient to not fall during the war, being able to cover the retreat of the mortal races so that they could ultimately regroup and seal the portal. According to Hamuul, after the war he was found underneath a mountain of demon corpses, and slowly asked if they had won once he had shaken them off.

Although Tortolla apparently wasn't seriously injured, he needed time to recover from the war and chose to slumber in the healing silt of Hyjal. He did not awaken until the Shattering itself roused him, and so when the Twilight's Hammer came to capture him he was not ready. After players free him and his unborn children, he is prepared to bring down his wrath and that of his children alongside the Guardians of Hyjal.
