Matt sees a turtle in Botswana.
About
After being teleported to Africa, Matt stumbles in the desert until he eventually collapses due to dehydration. Once he wakes up, he sees a turtle in front of him. He believes he can hear the turtle's thoughts, until he finds out the voice belongs to Usutu.
In Usutu's hut, a turtle crawls across 9th Wonders!, Issue #7.
After Matt returns from his vision of the future, Usutu tells Matt that he must find his animal totem. Matt looks around and sees a turtle outside Usutu's hut. Matt begins to follow his animal guide on a slow journey.
Matt and the turtle arrive at JFK airport. Matt and the turtle remain at the airport while Daphne first attempts to recruit Matt, and then Daphne and Matt attempt to convince one another to avoid contact with the Pinehearst Company.
Notes
- In an interview, Greg Grunberg jokes that the turtle's name is Shelly.
- According to Heroes Interactive, the turtle that appears in Dying of the Light is an African Sulcata turtle. His name is Elvis, and the episode Dying of the Light of Heroes marked his acting debut. Also, the commentary for the episode mentions that the turtle in the episode is a "stand-in" turtle.
