-TURTLE-
THE THIRD STAGE OF DEVELOPMENT. THE TURTLE
IS LARGE AND BULKY. IT DEVELOPS A THICK EXOSKEL-
ETON THAT IS BETTER THAN A TANK'S. THIS SHELL
WEIGHS IT DOWN CONSIDERABLY SO THE BEAST IS VERY SLOW.
ON ITS BACK
ARE TWO VENT-LIKE
PORES WHICH IT USES
TO PUMP OUT ACIDIC
LIQUIDS WHICH
COMBUST ON CONTACT
WITH AIR.
THE RESULTING JETS
OF FLAME CAN TAKE
DOWN A MARINE IN A
FEW SECONDS AT CLOSE
RANGE...BUT ONLY AT
CLOSE RANGE...
NOTES FROM IAN: THIS GUY WAS MY FIRST 3D RENDERED
MODEL OF THE GAME. HE WAS ORIGINALLY
HAND DRAWN IN BUT THAT PROVED ANNOYING. SO NOW IT HAS
BEEN RENDERED IN AND THEN TOUCHED UP USING PHOTO SHOP
TO GIVE IT A MORE ORGANIC LOOK.
THE ORIGINAL DESIGN WAS A MORE ROUND
MODEL. IT RESEMBLED A LIZARD ALMOST. BUT IN THE LAST
STAGES OF CREATION IT WAS GIVEN POINTIER FEATURES TO
MATCH THE OTHER ORGANICS.
DOESN'T HIS LITTLE PUG FACE LOOK CUTE??
