Quick answer
- Breed turtles with
Seagrass. One goes home to its beach to lay eggs. - Eggs take about 4 to 5 days to hatch, and only on sand.
- Each baby drops a
Turtle scute when it grows up. Use scutes for a Turtle shell.
Turtles are slow, but their scutes make the turtle shell helmet, which helps you breathe underwater.

Eggs crack faster at night and only hatch on sand. Zombies love to trample them, so fence the beach and light it up.
