Tortorner has a whole shell made of concrete, as if it walked off with somebody's sidewalk! It has a thick skull and a mean bite, but its body is pretty delicate. A Mouthful Mode ability might help you crack through its shell and land a brutal blow from above!
— Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land

Tortorner is a big tortoise-like creature that uses a square of concrete as its shell, which appears as a member of theBeast Pack and an enemy inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition. Tortorner sits in place and slowly swivels around in order to try and extend its neck to bite Kirby if he is in range. Tortorner cannot beinhaled nor harmed by any regular attack. The only thing that can defeat it is by usingCone Mouth to slam the top of its shell to break it. When doing this, Tortorner's body is revealed to be stubby with a light print of skin resembling a bathing suit, similar to an outline of skin that hasn't been tanned. Although large, Tortorner is not nearly as big as its relativeTortuilding. Tortorner is one of the only enemies fromKirby and the Forgotten Land to not appear inStar-Crossed World.

InDowntown Grassland, defeating Tortorner yields two yellowStar Coins, two green Star Coins, twodonuts, and a hiddenWaddle Dee cage.

Its name is a portmanteau of "tortoise" and "corner".
