Turtle totem

turtle totem This hand-carved wooden totem carries the ancient power of the Turtle Spirits within it, allowing its bearer to summon turtles to do their bidding, so long as that bidding is to bite something. It won't let you summon turtles because you need, say, your taxes prepared. (Meatsmithing component) Type: weapon (1-handed totem) Damage: 1 - 2 Selling Price: 1 Meat. (In-game plural: turtle totems)
