If your new, hang out with these guys until you have a shelter. I did that when I was starting out and it saved me and my dodo from a scorpion.

When fighting any beach predators, run twoards the earest turtle. The turtle will save you.

When in need of large amounts of keratin most tribes will hunt turtles. Just remember to aim for weak points such as the legs and exposed neck to maximize damage.

These friendly turtles are passive, but be warned, if other turtles are nearby and you attack one you will have a lot of turtles chasing you

A low level turtle is a great source of keratin,hide and meat but if you see one extremely high level and your under level 20, they are harder to kill than low level Raptors...
