It should be noted that this spell randomly chooses from 3 different turtle skins. There's a green skinned + tan shelled variety (similar to the Speedy pet), there's a red-skinned + brownish shelled varierty, and then there's a sea-turtle with a bluish-green color. They are all the same model, but with different colors.

It should be noted that recently the actual name of this spell has changed.
It used to be Polymorph: Turtle.
It is now Polymorph(Rank 1: Turtle).This pretty much breaks any macros or addons involving casting Polymorph Turtle (or Pig).
You can fix this, however, by simply changing the name to the new one.
Currently, Polymorph is part of polymorph/sap/incapacitate DR. Any applied CC that falls into this category (such as Repentance or Sap), will diminish the duration of next CC from same category to 50%. Another CC would reduce the duration to 25% (of the maximum duration); then, the target gains temporary immunity to another CC and after the immunity ends, targed isvulnerable to full-duration CC again.
Current DR chain for Polymorph is: 10 sec - 5 sec - 2.5 sec - immune
