Petpet Puddle

The Turtum is a stout, loyal Petpet similar to a tortoise.

Overview

They enjoy playing Ultimate Bullseye in the evenings - indeed, a Turtum was featured in Ultimate Bullseye as the operator of the ballista, a role reprised in its successor game, Ultimate Bullseye II.

Turtums also appeared Neopets: The Darkest Faerie as a device to enable the player's character to reach greater heights: when attacked by Tormund or Roberta, the Turtum retreats into its shell. Shortly afterwards, it will return from their shell, and should the player's character be standing on it as it does so, they will spring into the air.

Plot summary

The Turtum troops were armed with a catapult and operator.
