Where it lives
Deep water (more than 2.5 m) in any realm whose water is not frozen or molten, near the bottom. It follows divers up and down. Seen from level 4. Its level depends on where you meet it: at home, how far from the village you are; on the other lands, that land's band, lowest near the harbour side. It is stronger at night.
How to calm it
Weak to (takes more): Energy +35%
Tough against (takes less): Ice −20%
Its attack: the bite. It is steady (wind-up 0.7 s, then 1.9 s before the next).
Snapper Turtles are weak to energy but shrug off ice. Watch for their bite: back away as they crouch, then strike while they recover. They live in deep water: keep an eye on your air when you dive after them.
It runs away for a while below 20% health. Cleansed, it turns back into a friendly animal and wanders home.
