>>49570947Actually the according the creator of the black turtle, its tail is a snake, that has a sword-like object sticking out of its mouth. I guess that's in reference to tale of Susanoo, the japanese storm god that killed a giant serpent to get a sword out of it's mouth. The snake its wrapped around the therian forms shell like the actual black tortoise. It's nice and subtle
It's typing (Water/Flying) makes sense because it neatly fits with the other geneis because it keeps the theme of storms (Tornadus) Winds, (Thundurus) Lightining/Thunder, (Tsunadus) the rain. It even ties back to japanese culture being based on a popular storm god.
Black turtle is far more thematically appropriate and fitting than some vague and over-abstracted concept around care giving, when that's not even evident in the new genies design. It's just a pink turtle.
