Dora Tortoise (ドーラトトイス Dōra Totoisu, 24) is a tortoise-themed Dora Monster from the Bandora Gang.
History[]
The recent inclusion of Lami into the ranks of the Bandora gang left Totpat and Bookback feeling inadequate. Seeking to regain the favor in Witch Bandora's eyes they decided to use Pleprechaun's Nendora Machine to create a Dora monster of their own. They created Dora Tortoise by combining Pleprechaun's clay with a number of toys that Bookback kept in his satchel. The creature was also based on a breed of turtle creatures that existed 20,000 years earlier that were nearly immortal.
Unleashed upon Tokyo, Dora Tortoise used his green traffic light beam to make a group of children unable to stop moving. Also affected was the Zyurangers' Boi who could not stop himself from running. Seeking to boost the range of Dora Tortoise's power to affect everyone in the city, Totpat and Bookback pointed their monster toward Tokyo Tower.
When the other Zyurangers attempted to stop the monster, Dan, Goushi and Mei were immobilized by Dora Tortoise's immobilizing red light. Seeking advice from Barza, Geki learned of the turtle's weakness, a special flower hidden upon a hidden Espoam Mountains. This information was relayed to Boi who was able to recover the flower while Geki kept a massive Dora Tortoise at bay with his Tyrannosaurus Guardian Beast and Dragon Caesar.
Boi soon arrived on the scene and sprinkled the pollen from the flowers on Dora Tortoise, freeing his victims and weakening the monster enough for Geki to vaporize it with the Tyrannosaurus' Tyranno Sonic.
