Some moreaus I made up for my Gamma World game.Turtle Moreau Species Traits

Turtle moreaus are a blend of human and turtle. They tend to be slow moving but quick thinking. They tend to be technologists or investigators but can handle their own in a scrape due to their natural defenses.

Moderate turtle moreaus have tough, leathery skin with a greenish tint. They have a thin shell that protects them from harm. Overt turtle moreaus have long neck with rounded heads not much wider than their necks. They have a fully developed shell which allows them to withstand far more damage than a normal human.

Observant (Ex): Turtle moreaus are able to observe details easily, giving covert and moderate turtle moreaus a +2 species bonus to spot checks. The flexible neck of overt turtle moreaus improves this ability to +4.

Shell (Ex): Moderate and overt turtle moreaus possess shells. The moderate turtle moreau gains a +2 AC bonus, while the overt turtle moreau gains a +4 bonus. In addition, the turtle moreau has the ability to withdraw all his limbs into his shell. This is a standard action which provokes attacks of opportunity. Once in the shell, the turtle moreau may take no action but gains DR 5/-.

Ability Scores: Turtle moreaus have the following species modifiers to ability scores:
Covert: +2 Int, -2 Dex
