Capabilities

User with this ability either is or can transform into a Dragon Turtle, a legendary Chinese creature that combines two of the four celestial animals of Chinese mythology: the body of a turtle with a dragonlike head. It is promoted as a positive ornament in Feng Shui, symbolizing courage, determination, fertility, longevity, power, success, and support.

In other universes, however, the dragon turtle is depicted as being a much more fearsome and ferocious creature, rather than a peaceful entity, capable of capsizing the largest of ships. Lastly, depending on the source material, some of these dragon turtles can either sport powerful fire or water-based abilities, or have a combination thereof.
