Shelby the Slapstick Tortoise is an Uncommon Moshling from the Ninjas set. Shelby is a sea-green turtle with a pink shell and wears a striped bandana with two wings on their head. They are poorly trained and cannot tie their bandana. Shelby 'trains' by watching kung fu movies.

Another member of the Slapstick Tortoise species is Myrtle.

Biographies[]

Slapstick Tortoises are highly trained Moshlings. It's just a shame whoever trained them was as dumb as stump. The only thing they're good at is messing up their moves and tumbling on to their wobbly shells. They can't even tie on their own bandanas. And that's bad because they're supposed to be Ninjas. If only they stopped watching silly kung-fu movies, they wouldn't be so useless.

Slapstick Tortoises are highly-trained Moshlings. It's just a shame whoever trained them was as dumb as a stump. The only thing they're good at is messing up their moves and tumbling on to their wobbly shells. They can't even tie their own bandanas. And that's bad because they're supposed to be ninjas. If only they stopped watching silly kung-fu movies, they wouldn't be so useless. I encountered my first Slapstick Tortoise whilst collecting shrillberries. In fact, I nearly trod on it because it was flailing around belly side up. Hi-yaaa!

Main
Shelby and the other Slapstick Tortoises are Ninja Moshlings. When they're not hibernating under the boardwalk at Groan Bay, they head to the Wailing Wharf to compare their clumsy combat moves. However, to their intensive Ninja training seems to have failed them, as these gawky creatures always end up belly-side up!
Hopeless hardshells
These bonkers critters are pretty useless, wasting their time doing things like brushing their teeth with toffee! Their idea of Ninja training is watching kung fu movies rather than actually practising the moves - they haven't even learnt how to tie their own Ninja bandanas!
Tortoise on gloop
Shelby loves gloop-skating, despite finding it hard to stay upright in the icky stuff. Clumsy Shelby often ends up covered in goop.

Slapstick Tortoises are highly trained Moshlings. Unfortunately, whoever trained them was rubbish because the only thing they're good at is messing up their moves, falling over and ending up stuck on their shells. They can't even tie on their own bandanas. And that's bad because they're supposed to be Ninjas. If only they stopped watching silly kung-fu movies and started training, they might not be so useless. Hi-yaaa!

Slapstick Tortoises are Ninjas. Well, sort of. They're not very good at it because they always get their moves wrong and fall over. They even find it difficult to tie their own bandanas. Unfortunately, Slapstick Tortoises would far rather watch kung-fu movies than practice kung-fu moves!
Being tortoises, they have to hibernate, and their favourite place for that is under the boardwalk at Groan Bay. During the summertime, they can often be found in groups at the Wailing Wharf. Here they like to test their skills (or lack of them!) against other Ninjas.

Fiction[]

Shelby, together with Rocky, is part of Buster Bumblechops search team in the Gombala Gombala Jungle. They accompanied Buster in both his venture in Go Do The Hoodoo as well as in Moshi Monsters: The Movie, the latter where they explicitely utter "no" towards Buster prompting them to go into the temple with him in search of The Great Moshling Egg.

In Run, Shelby, Run!, Shelby is bothered by a gang of Moshlings - Ecto, Gurgle, Tiki, Squidge and finally Jeepers who were out stealing Shelby's parcel. Supposedly they assumed it contained something more interested than shell wax.

Trivia[]

  • Shelby was available for a day at Twistmas 2012 by hatching the seventh Twistmas Egg.
  • Run Shelby Run! takes place in a season Shelby's species hibernate.
