Most of them are omnivores or  herbivores and mainly eating seaweed, but there are carnivorous  varieties that eat fish or jellyfish. A sea turtle lives its life in the  water, except for when the females crawl onto sandy beaches to bury  their eggs. Humanoids often hunt sea turtles. Their flesh and eggs are  quite tasty, and their shells can be fashioned into implements or  ornaments. The statistics presented here describe a small sea turtle, 2 to 3 feet  long and weighing 70 to 100 pounds. Some kinds of sea turtle grow much  larger than that. COMBAT Sea turtles are rarely aggressive, preferring to swim away from opponents. They bite if threatened.Fortification (Ex): Whenever a critical hit or sneak attack is  scored on a sea turtle there is a 25% chance that the special  attack is negated and its damage is rolled normally, similar to the  effect of armor enchanted with the Light Fortification quality.Hold Breath (Ex): A sea turtle can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 10 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning. For a typical sea turtle, this is 130 rounds, or 13 minutes.Skills: A sea turtle has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. A sea turtle can use its Dexterity modifier or its Strength modifier on Swim checks. It can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line. Giant Sea Turtle These  relatives of ordinary sea turtles are so enormous they can live  comfortably in cold waters. Giant sea turtles are omnivores, preferring  to eat plants and small animals. They do not usually hunt prey the size  of most humanoids. These reptiles are just as tasty as their  normal-sized cousins, and their shells are so huge they can be used as  roofs or boats.  A giant sea turtle typically measures from 20 to 30 feet from snout to  tail, with a shell from 15  to 25 feet in diameter, and weighs 30,000  pounds or more. Old specimens often reach lengths of 50 or 60 feet.  COMBAT  Giant sea turtles are basically non-aggressive, but fight fiercely if  sorely provoked. If a giant sea turtle feels bothered by an intruder, it  normally withdraws into its shell and waits to be left alone. Should a  persistent enemy annoy or injure it, the turtle will bite with its  deadly, tearing beak. An angry giant sea turtle may capsizes a ship by  surfacing underneath it.     Capsize (Ex): A submerged giant turtle that surfaces under a boat or ship less than 20 feet long capsizes the vessel 95% of the time. It has a 50% chance to capsize a vessel from 20 to 60 feet long and a 20% chance to capsize one over 60 feet long.Fortification (Ex): Whenever a critical hit or sneak attack is scored on a giant sea turtle there is a 75% chance that the special attack is negated and its damage is rolled normally, similar to the effect of armor enchanted with the Moderate Fortification quality. This chance increases to 100% when the turtle withdraws its appendages into its shell.Hold Breath (Ex): A giant sea turtle can hold its breath for a number  of rounds equal to 10 × its Constitution score before it risks drowning.  For a typical sea turtle, this is 230 rounds, or 23 minutes.Withdraw (Ex): A giant sea turtle can pull in its head and limbs to  protect its vulnerable areas. While withdrawn, the tortoise cannot take  any actions other than exiting its shell, but it gains cover.  Withdrawing into its shell also grants the sea turtle heavy fortification, giving it 100% resistance to critical hits.Skills: A giant sea turtle has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to  perform some special action or avoid a hazard. A sea turtle can use its  Dexterity modifier or its Strength modifier on Swim checks. It can  always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or  endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims  in a straight line.</blockquote>
