The Turtle is a divine beast from Chinese lore Xuan Wu (Japanese: Genbu). It is one of the four beasts that Maria has control of. It is used as a sub-weapon, but it's more of a protective ability. Maria is able to form a shell around herself and tip toe slowly across the level. The shell can absorb many attacks, but not all. Other incarnations of the turtle divine beast have been seen in other games.
Castlevania Judgment[]
In Judgment, summoning the spirit of the Turtle does not protect Maria in any way as in other games. Instead, in calls forth a giant turtle shell which falls on her opponent. It is the only attack that does not involve a direct attack by her owl Osca, who instead covers his eyes with his feathers during the whole ordeal.
