A dragon tortoise has the head of a dragon and the body of a tortoise. Dragons and tortoises are the 2 most powerful Chinese fengshui and mythology. Dragons symbolises power, courage and immense succcess while the tortoise is a symbol of longevity, protection, support, wealth and prosperity. Therefore a dragon tortoise will represents the combination of the best characteristics of the 2 celestial animals.
