Initially, they actually wanted to write about fast turtles, so they tried to conceptualize a turtle that can walk a long distance in a short amount of time, but instead, they rightfully realized just making the turtles really big so that each slow step ended up covering a long distance was a better, more convenient, and more badass idea.
