A Tortoise is a pack animal companion. It has high toughness and carries 4 crates of cargo. If mounted, it will reduce the base Sanity cost of travel and provide a defense-oriented combat die (potentially two if you're playing as Alexandra David-Neel).

It can only be obtained by finding a rare Mysterious Egg, usually when looting an Elephant Graveyard. After the egg remains in the player's inventory for a few days, a baby tortoise hatches. The baby tortoise must be kept for a few more days before it will grow up to become a giant tortoise. When the tortoise matures, the player must choose whether to free the tortoise or to use it as a companion of the expedition.
