Leatherback Sea Turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), family Dermochelyidae, Maluku, Indonesia

The largest turtle in the world, and the heaviest known non-crocodilian reptile, reaching lengths of up to 1.8 metres (5 ft 11 in) and weights of 500 kilograms (1,100 lb).

Unlike most reptiles, their skin does not have scales.

This is also the deepest diving and widest ranging (Migratory) species of turtle!

Vulnerable.

I'm looking for a slave that is completely obedient, loyal, and willing to please. Someone who will do whatever I say, without hesitation

In case you needed some nightmare fuel, this is what the oesophagus of a leatherback sea turtle looks like on the inside. 
Those spines keep jellyfish in but let sea water out. Unfortunately, they also keep plastic bags in, making them very vulnerable to plastic impaction!
