Mystery Bones of Infant Island

The Mystery Bones of Infant Island (インファント島の怪骨, Infanto-jima no kai kotsu) is a giant turtle created by Toho Studios that first appeared in the 1964 Godzilla film, Mothra vs. Godzilla.

Name
The official name for Skeleturtle, "Mystery Bones of Infant Island", is a translation of the name for the creature found in a 2012 toy of it, which reads "Infanto-jima no kai kotsu". Skeleturtle is a fanmade nickname, created by Chris Mirjahangir of Toho Kingdom, before the official name was known. The other nickname for the creature, "Kame no Gaikotsu", was created by Miles Imhoff, also from Toho Kingdom.

Appearance
Skeleturtle is purely white and gray, with black eyes, a bland, pale shell with no visible scutes. It has a fairly long neck, and very short limbs, which have tiny bone fragments visible.

Origins
Skeleturtle's direct origins are unknown, but it's possible that it was either a turtle mutated by radiation on Infant Island or a turtle of an unknown species.

History
Skeleturtle made a very short appearance on Mothra vs. Godzilla, lasting only about 38 seconds on screen and in the background. It was found on Infant Island, which had a lot of radiation and lifeless skeletons lying around. None of the characters ever directly interact with or notice it.

Trivia

 * Skeleturtle is currently the only one of the minor Showa era monsters, who include the Giant Lizard, the Giant Octopus, and the Giant Condor, to have received an official toy.
