XortoiseThe four-headed, radially symmetrical xortoise is half-xorn, half-giant tortoise.
It originates on the Elemental Plane of Earth, moves slowly, eats gems, is about the size of a pair of Toyota Camrys, and--it is claimed--great wisdom can be found etched into the markings on its shell.
However, since the shell is crisscrossed by a great x-shaped, spiketoothed mouth, it is not easy to read the shell of a living xortoise.
The xortoise takes 81 days to digest and can only do so while lying totally still, completely submerged in earth or mud, so adventurers able to explore the beast's stomach before it returns to its lair often find years worth of precious stones inside.

Remember when you said you judged a monster by how much you wanted to see a knight hit it?
I want to see Link shoot an arrow at this monster.
A four headed, omnidirectional tortoise made of solid stone. Now *that* is a great idea for an Earth Elemental. Kudos!
I can't help but think of Hungry Hungry Hippos. I know, it's inverted, but eating gems solidified the idea in my head.
@nicholas
that makes a lot of sense
