Leatherback - Carracosta(M)
Threat Category IV. When traveling on land, Leatherback uses its fore-knuckles to drag its body. Its hard, ridged carapace allows it to withstand great amounts of damage without falter. Leatherback excels at unexpectedly swift movements under the rain and in water, where its size lends to the deception of its true speed and maneuverability.
