COMBAT Giant tortoises do not engage in combat.  They simply rely on their damage reduction and high AC to protect them. If danger approaches, they simply retreat into their shells and wait for it to pass, as most creatures cannot penetrate their shell and only the mightiest could turn them over.Low-light Vision (Ex): A giant tortoise can see in conditions of lowered light as well as a human can in daylight.Shell (Ex): *As a move action, A giant tortoise can retract it's head, legs and tail into its shell.  Its speed drops to 0 (cannot move), but gains +5 to its Armor Class (this stacks with its natural armor bonus).** A giant tortoises attack is considered a secondary attack and adds only 1/2 the tortoise's Strength modifier.By Jesse Mohn 2005.  This text is designated open content in accordance with the OGL.</blockquote>
