>>56222845>Terapagos is in the middle, on top is a little crystal version of the non-combat form, and below it is a dome with a shell-like rim and 4 "legs". It's a stack of 3 turtles…A counterpoint, related to my linked image, is that the design of Terapagos is based on the story of Urashima Taro, a small baby turtle that was saved by the fisherman, a larger turtle that took him to the timeless Dragon Palace, the gift from the Turtoe Princess, a Tamatebako, or Jewlery Casket, that held within it the missing years that when opened killed the fisherman, and in early versions it was a three-tiered box that holds a crane’s feather, the smoke that made him age, and a mirror that transforms him with the feather into a crane to be reunited with his Turtle Princess.
There is much more in the design than saying it’s three turtles stacked on top of each other, when only two exist. A better concept is the Feng Shui Turtle-Dragon of prosperity, where it sits in its hoard of coins and has a turtle on its back, the “Lucky Dragon”.
Your argument for the Infinite Regress, falls flat when compared objectively.
