The Giant alligator snapping turtle (short :"Gast") is a geneticly modified version of the alliagator snapping turtle. Their genes were crossed with Galapagos tortoise and gopher tortoise genes to make the water adapted snapping turtle capable to survive and hunt in the desert. Suprisingly, the Gast slowly adapted to Nea's unice Sand Sea and became one of the most succesfull predators there. Its hunting strategy is similiar to the aligator snapping turtle :
It attracts smaller animals with its tounge (the tounge evolved and now resembles a Blueface Sandguppy), in this case young, sometimes adult sandsharks, and attacks them incredibly fast.

Und nochmal kurz auf deutsch, da mein Englisch nicht das Beste ist :

Die Riesengeierschildkröte ist eine genetisch modifizierte Version der Geierschildkröte. Ihre Gene wurden mit denen der Galapagosschildkröte und Gopherschildkröte gekreuzt, um somit der an das Wasser angepasste Geierschildkröte zu ermöglichen, in der Wüste zu jagen und zu überleben. Überraschenderweise passte sich die Riesengeierschildkröte an Nea's einzigartiges Sandmeer an und wurde dort zu einem der erfolgreichsten Jäger. Ihre Jagdstrategie ist ähnelt der der Geierschildkröte :
Sie lockt kleinere Lebewesen mit ihrer Zunge an (die Zunge entwickelte sich und sieht nun aus wie ein blaugesichtiger Sandguppy), in
diesem Fall kleine, manchmal erwachsene Sandhaie und attackiert sie unglaublich schnell.

Ps : This thing took FOREVER. This was my first big project, I worked days on it and I'm proud to finally upload it (I normally never finish a drawing, so this is kinda special for me ).

Don't pull those worms out of the ground if you come across them. Just don't.

Awesome idea!
