This uncommon form of gleeok is usually only found dwelling in subterranean magma flows, such as those under active volcanoes or in the subterranean world of Subrosia. Unlike a typical gleeok, it bears only one head, and its body is protected by a turtle-like shell. Much like the turtle it resembles, a gleerok is amphibious but spends most of its time submerged—albeit usually in magma rather than in water.
