War tortoise

The War tortoise is a Summoning familiar that a player is able to summon at 67 Summoning. The war tortoise can carry up to eighteen items for a player.

War tortoise pouch
A War tortoise pouch is made by using a Summoning pouch on a Summoning obelisk with 1 spirit shard, a Gold charm and a Tortoise shell in the player's inventory. Using the pouch to summon a War tortoise costs 7 summoning points.

A Perfect shell may not be used in place of a tortoise shell as an ingredient.

Testudo scroll
The Testudo scroll enables the use of the Testudo special ability for a War tortoise. Using a War tortoise pouch on a Summoning obelisk creates ten Testudo scrolls.

Testudo
Testudo  is a special move of the War tortoise, activated by a Testudo scroll. When activated, it temporarily boosts Defence by 8. Each use of a Testudo scroll requires 20 special move points.

When used in conjunction with potions and more scrolls this effect does NOT stack on top of what you have already boosted.
