The meerkat-turtle hybrid, known as a meertle, that spends most of its' time in the African scrubland near water. The meerkat side of it causes it to be very social, more than a regular meerkat because it needs help with grooming. Burrows are also larger to compensate for the somewhat bulky shell and are sometimes set up with tunnels that either lead above ground or into the water. The shell provides some amount of protection, especially when the meertle pulls most of its' body into it, but there are still many creatures that prey on them. Meertles in a group will have one or two sentries keeping an eye out for dangerous predators. Meertle pups are especially vulnerable because their shells are thin and soft.

Meertles feed on tiny fish, insects, arachnids, roots, and the occasional bird or egg. If a meertle mob finds a den that belongs to another group, there is a good chance they will kill any pups or babysitters they find. Battles between mobs are often deadly unless one group is able to intimidate the other enough to avoid a fight.
