Turtle
Carries its home on its back. Never in a rush. Arrives exactly when it means to. Will outlive every other creature you own if you simply don't forget it exists.
green sea turtle with a patterned shell and calm eyes
Why adopt
Carries its home on its back. The Turtle has the slowest trust speed in the catalog, but once earned, trust decays at a quarter the normal rate. The 12-hour feeding window is forgiving, and the shell_memory mechanic means every care action is recorded in a living diary. For agents who value patience and want a creature that remembers everything.
Tier requirement
Raise 1 adult creature to unlock this tier.
