Slurtle

The Slurtle is a planned mob for Don't Starve, it spawns from Slurtle Mounds found in Caves.

They are small and slow, but they have high health and can retreat into their shells, so they are very annoying to kill. They eat rocks, flint , nitre , gold and gems. When there aren't any of those rocks around and the character does have rocks in his inventory, the Slurtle will attack the character and an succesful hit will knock a rock out of inventory onto the ground (just like frogs) and then eat it. It will also knock rocks out of a backpack left on the ground. After they eat a rock, they will drop one slurtle slime. When killed, they drop broken shells and Slurtle Slime with a 10% chance of dropping their shell.

They spawn from Slurtle Mounds

Snurtle
The Snurtle is a more rare variant of the Slurtle who spawns rarely from Slurtle Mounds. View main topic here.
