Blanton The Party Turtle
(a.k.a. Blantin, Blandin, Blandon, and a variety of other misspellings)
Blanton The Party Turtle is the mascot and collective pet of House Sauropoda. He gets his name from the fact that he is an incorrigible lush and gets upset if not provided with alcohol constantly. He is not known to be particularly vicious under most circumstances and is hardly dangerous. He became well known to members of other Houses during the April Tournament of 2025 due to his role in the Bodyguard Boot Camp.
Punishment [for day ten]: You must find Blanton the party turtle, bathe him, and return him to the Dinocomb. Warning: he gets grumpy if you take him away from liquor.

Information not generally known in the GoTverse

Blanton is, in fact, much more powerful than he appears to be, though how that translates to intelligence is unknown. He is supernaturally attuned to and has some control over the other reptiles in The Swamp, particularly other turtles, which he has in past Word Wars used to lead them against the undead. He can understand at the very least English, though he cannot speak, and instead communicates with body languages.
Blanton can be summoned by channeling literomantic power through filk, which allows him to teleport to the summoner’s location. Anyone outside of Sauropoda looking to summon him this way must specifically use a filk of a drinking song. Blanton expects to be provided with booze when summoned, and will use the fading literomantic power to teleport away if not provided with any. Members of House Sauropoda are well aware of this and always have booze ready, which is part of why they can use other filk to summon him.
Mental characteristics
Intellectual Characteristics
Blanton has shown signs of being far more than a mere "pet," although it's nothing anyone can prove. He has been known to martial the alligator snapping turtles to follow his lead, and according to rumour, may have been seen more than once driving The Rave Train. And officially, he has nothing whatsoever to do with a number of mysterious liquor thefts that other Houses have been reporting from time to time.
He has recently been seen carrying Queen TaraFaeBelle around on his back during The Sixth Word War, during which he was apparently (to anyone's best ability to tell) commanding a squad of "turtle cavalry" (tanks) that carried shapeshifted Chiropteran Werebats and Lapin Wererabbits into battle.
