Leatherback Sea Turtle

These large sea turtles can reach almost 9 feet in length and weighing 550 + (1d100 x 10) pounds. They have tough leathery skin rather than a hard shell. They may be encountered feeding off jellyfish swarms or ashore on warm nights when the females come onto sandy beaches to lay their eggs. Other Names: Leathery turtle, lute turtle, or luth.
