[[folder:Tantriog]]
[[quoteright:345:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tojanida.png]]
->'''Level:''' 7

->'''Size:''' Medium

Bizarre hybrids of crabs and snapping turtles cursed into their current forms due to a long-forgotten slight, tantriogs know they used to be so much more than they are now, and are often insufferably proud and arrogant as a result.

* AttentionWhore: They seek adoration from other creatures (usually primitive humanoid tribes).
* ExtraEyes: They have eyes studded around the rims of their shells, with one in each space between the holes in their shells that their flippers, claws and jaws pass through.
* GeneticMemory: Tantriogs retain the memories of all their ancestors as far back as their original transformation and banishment from the plane of water. A side effect of this is that they're extremely sedentary and apathetic -- having the memories of literally thousands of generations means that there's very little novelty in a tantriog's life, as most new stimuli and activities will be things that it will remember having done or seen hundreds of times already. It also leads to them almost revering ignorance and forgetfulness, as they reason that ''not'' remembering things will allow you to experience more new events, and thus is the surest way to a happy and fulfilled life.
* TheHedonist: Non-villainous version. They mainly seek pleasure to distract them from their tormented existence.
* MixAndMatchCritters: They resemble bizarre crosses of crabs and sea turtles, with crablike pincers and mandibles protruding from a turtle shell.
* MorphicResonance: When elder tantriogs shapeshift, some trace of their shell remains visible regardless of what form they take, generally turning into a shelled, armor-plated or spiked version of whatever they were going for.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Elder tantriogs can take the shape of any aquatic animal or magical beast, although their shell remains visible in some form regardless of the form they take.
