    I find it amusing that more than once I’ve seen this picture of A’tuin, the space turtle from Discworld, used to represent Maturin, the space turtle from Stephen King’s books. I don’t remember Maturin having elephants or a disc-shaped world on his back!

      At least it’s better than when they cast Paul Bettany as Maturin in that movie opposite Russell Crowe. He’s not even a turtle, he just studied them.

      They’re both based off a real life series of deities from like Hinduism to some Chinese folk stuff to American Indian tribal lore.
