The War Tortoise scroll (Testudo) enables the use of the Testudo special move for the War tortoise familiar. War Tortoise scroll (Testudo)s are made by using War tortoise pouches on a Summoning obelisk, providing 0.1 Summoning experience and 10 War Tortoise scroll (Testudo)s. If the Voice of Seren is active in the Amlodd District in Prifddinas, using the Prifddinas obelisk will give 12 scrolls per pouch.

Testudo

A player activating the scroll.

Testudo is a special move of the war tortoise, activated by a War Tortoise scroll (Testudo). When activated, it temporarily boosts Defence by 8 points. Each use of a War Tortoise scroll (Testudo) requires 20 special move points and grants 0.7 summoning xp.

When used in conjunction with potions and more scrolls, this effect will NOT stack on top of what has already been boosted. Because of this, even players with a war tortoise following them will typically prefer a defence potion, super defence potion or saradomin brew for raising their defence.
