Those of galapa ancestry resemble anthropomorphic turtles, with a large, domed shell into which the head and limbs can retract.

On average, they range from 4 feet to 6 feet in height and an individual’s overall shape is dictated by the type of turtle they resemble. Galapa come in a variety of earth tones, most often shades of green and brown, and they may possess several colorful and unique patterns, especially on their shells. No matter their other physicality, all galapa can draw in their head, arms, and legs to protect them within their shell, using it as a shield when defensive measures are needed. The majority of this ancestry move fairly slowly no matter their age, and will live for roughly 150 years.

Features

Shell of Protection: Your shell provides a natural shield. Add your Proficiency to your armor score.

Slow and Steady: During combat, you can make an attack roll with advantage by placing an additional token on the action tracker.

Galapas will carve or shape their shells with designs important to an individual or their community culture. Shells can also be reinforced completely or partially with armor or other materials. Other objects may be attached to shells with the right tools. Shells that are damaged can be repaired, otherwise it takes at least 10 years for a heavily damaged shell to fully recover. Hands and arms tend to be thick with sharp fingers.
