+== You’re missing a very obvious reference in origins ==
+There’s an old Japanese tale called Urashima Taro.
+The story goes that one day a fisherman named Urashimo Taro saved a rainbow shell turtle from some mean kids. As thanks the turtle takes him to the underwater palace of the dragon king (blueberry academy). He stays there for a few years but then gets homesick. Before he leaves they give him a box and tell him not to open it. When he arrives back home he discovers that what was a few years to him has been a hundred years on land. And all of the people he knew are dead. In despair he opens the box and he immediately ages into an old man.
+That last part is reflective of how Terapagos starts as a small child turtle and turns into a larger white bearded turtle when it enters battle.
+Side note: this tale is often used in the same way English speakers use Rip Van Winkle [[User:Dragoncat|Dragoncat]] ([[User talk:Dragoncat|talk]]) 00:53, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
