Turtlez

Turtlez (かめにん) are a recurring race in the Tales series. They area turtle-human hybrid creatures specializing in trade.

Description
Regardless of their gender, turtlez wear yellow robes, their sleeves modeled after turtle legs, wear large strapped brown turtleshells on their back, and a yellow hat resembling a turtle. They have a strange speaking mechanism that manifests in themspeaking in an accent with slightly changing the pronunciation and spelling of many words to include "z" at the end. Turtlez specialize in trade, often offering their services outside of towns, mainly in dungeons. It is often discussed by the party what exactly are they: in Tales of Berseria it is pondered if they are a kind of malakhim, but the White Turtlez dismisses the idea saying that "turtlez are turlez".

Trivia

 * In Tales of Berseria, one of the expedition areas is the Amarcian Subcontinent for which the description states that turtlez are supposedly originating from it. This serves as a double reference to Tales of Graces from which the race originates.
