Turtle non-combat pets and turtle mounts! Who want them?

Personally I want both. A cute little turtle to follow me around and a giant tortoise with a decadent plaqiad atop it's shell from which I ride in pure luxury.

    We do have a couple of Haj Mota pets, which are really just turtles cosplaying dinosaurs.

    Definitely wouldn't be of any use to those who, inexplicably, like sprinting and galloping everywhere. :D

    I'd love to see turtles join frogs, small snakes and other harmless wild critters one encounters in the wild. As much as I love turtles their, well, turtle speed makes them undesirable as a pet or mount. The animations when you get a hurry on would be absurd.

    In Elder Scrolls there could be a creature like a turtle but is faster. I mean it is a fictional game.

    ...or what if we surfed on the turtle like in Mario 64? Cool!

    That is a low blow. Good thing I have a thick shell.

    Sure. We can use the eggs for alchemy and they can add a Turtle Soup recipe for the meat. You can get the recipe fishing in a future dungeon.

    Not into turtles/tortoises. Nope, thanks. And I don't select options in polls which are biased.

    I like turtles but I don't want to ride one.

    And I totally agree about monkeys.

    Not possible to vote. Again a a poll with comments added to the questions giving them a double meaning...

    I do love turtles but wouldn't like to see them used as mounts. On the other hand, could imagine them as a cute little pet.

    Also, I know we're not a in reality, but to see a turtle running fast... :D

    In Dutch we use one word for turtles en tortoises but in English there is a difference, a difference that makes turtles completely ridiculous as mounts...

    If we also get a turtle soup recipe I might vote yes.

    Turtles have flippers and thus are mostly aquatic. This would make them pretty poor mounts I feel :(

    I agree Argonians do make better slaves for my Marshmerrow plantation outside Suran, but I was think more so of a pet to own rather than organic farm equipment.

    Regardless I have no use for turtles beyond soup, I give you an awesome for that particular sideways swipe....
