'''Alligator snapping turtles''' are big cousins of [[pond turtle]]s and little relatives of [[alligator]]s. They can be found in temperate lakes and rivers in large populations, but only appear individually. When fully grown, they are larger than an [[alpaca]], and live for 30-70 years. Alligator snapping turtles can serve as a source for [[egg]]s and [[shell]]s, and even be bred for a sustainable supply.

A large reptile with a thick ridged shell. It has been known to consume snakes and smaller turtles, and its bite can amputate fingers.

Alligator snapping turtles are amphibious and carnivorous creatures found in temperate lakes, rivers and pools, where they may appear one at a time. They are more formidable than their common snapping turtle cousins, being over twice heavier, making them larger than the average dwarf. If provoked, they will retaliate with bites, potentially leading to lost fingers or hands or whole dwarves.

Alligator snapping turtles can be captured in cage traps and trained into cheap exotic pets. Due to their larger size than common snapping turtles, they make for a more attractive source of meat and bones when butchered. They may also be placed in a nest box to lay eggs for cooking.

Some dwarves like alligator snapping turtles for their vicious bites and their long necks.

Admired for their vicious bites.
