Biology
Physiology
Turdles resemble small, blue-skinned turtles with brownish shells. Much of their skin is stained brown as well, especially their hands and the area around their mouth, because of the fact that they are constantly playing in--and even eating--their own poop.
Special abilities
Though Turdles are not able to produce large quantities of poop on command, they are still perfectly capable of flinging it at enemies. A Turdle can also wipe poop all over its own shell and then duck inside, making direct physical attacks much less effective.
Behavior
Turdles, unlike most turtle-like creatures, are not very intelligent at all. Their mindset is similar to that of a human baby--if they are not watched carefully, they will often just sit and play in their poop for hours at a time, splattering their surroundings with disgusting feces. They also eat their own poop very often, despite the fact that it is unhealthy for them.
Wild Turdles are almost always being watched by older Turdturtles and even Asstoises, which prevent them from consuming their own poop and discourage other icky habits as well. Due to their absolutely idiotic behavior, many of them are killed by their own parents before they ever have a chance to evolve.
Habitat
Turdles usually live near rivers, and spend most of their time sitting on flat rocks nearby and flinging poop at anyone who comes near. Ancient legends speak of a lake near Twerpy Town inhabited entirely by Turdles, but there is no solid proof that such a lake ever existed.
Diet
Turdles often eat their own poop, even though it is unhealthy for them. At early ages, they are usually fed insects and fruit by their parents; as they grow older, they will begin to hunt by covering their prey in poop and then eating it, poop and all.
They love eating Poopies, which (unlike their own poop) are usually a very healthy part of their diet. However, they have some difficulty digging them out of Poo Latrines in the wild, so they usually do not eat them unless they are offered one by their parents or their trainer.

Trivia
Origin
Turdle is a spoof of the Pokémon Squirtle, a small turtle with an oddly-shaped tail. It is also based on how human babies will often mindlessly play in their own poop if they get the chance.
Name origin
Turdle's name is a combination of "turd," an English slang word for fecal matter, and "turtle," the shelled reptile that it resembles. It also intentionally rhymes with "Squirtle," the Pokémon that Turdle is spoofed from.
