Resembling a tortoise but with a multicolored crystalline shell, prismatic tortoises are slow-moving denizens of forests and caves whose diet consists entirely of rocks and other minerals. This food source makes the tortoise incredibly dense for its size, and some specimens can weigh 400 pounds. Its crystal shell can pose a problem if it is hit directly with light, as it refracts the light and creates a sudden, bright flash. Creatures who are within 15 feet of a prismatic tortoise in a source of direct light must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or be blinded by dazzling lights for 1 minute. Due to their specialized diet and substantial weight, prismatic tortoises are rarely kept in captivity.
