“	This simulant wears a prototype shield generator developed by dataDyne scientists. The generator projects a protective shield around its host which has twice the strength of a normal shield. Unfortunately, this restricts the hosts movement, so it can only move at a slow pace, TurtleSims carry this shield as standard even if there are no shields on the level.	”

The TurtleSim is a special type of Simulant found in the Combat Simulator.

Analysis

TurtleSims are both a blessing and a curse; it is twice as slow as a normal Simulant, roughly the same as a MeatSim, but it comes pre-equipped with a Super Shield that is twice as powerful as a normal Shield, and are capable of gradually regenerating. Although they have a very slow movement, their accuracy and behavior is still equivalent to that of its selected difficulty; Dark TurtleSims will be crawling assassins, while Meat TurtleSims will be heavily shielded but still are nearly unable to hit their target.

If the handicap setting is set to a high level, the TurtleSims' shield can take a very long time to deplete, similar to how if the player uses a Super Shield and set enemy damage to the lowest setting (10%) in Perfect Dark difficulty in singleplayer mode.
