'''Turnip''' is first discovered growing in the ground outside of the Hermit's Hideaway after cooling the ground in said area in Another World with the Ice Breath or Ice Gun. When he is pulled out of the ground (by Poshul) he joins forces with Serge. His mannerisms and animations resemble Frog from Chrono Trigger, in another nod to that famous character. Turnip is actually the incarnation of a sleeping Acacia Dragoon's dream.

Turnip is a sword-bearing living turnip that is dug up by Poshul in Home World after cooling the ground in Another World at Hermit's Hideaway.

Story

Turnip is the walking dream of a sleeping Acacia Dragoon in Viper Manor. After coming into contact with this dragoon, he realizes he has lived the same life as the dream the dragoon describes in his sleep, and Turnip begins to wonder how and why he exists, and if he will disappear when the dragoon awakes from his slumber.

In the end, however, he concluded that as long as he knew he existed, then he would exist in some way shape or form, and concluded that should the dragoon awake, he would exist in that dragoon's dream world once more.

"Turnip's nature and words bring to mind two philosophies on life. That he dreams of the soldier and the soldier dreams of him is a take on Zhuangzi's famous chapter in his book that described an experience in which he dreamt of being a butterfly and afterwards wondered if his life were simply the butterfly dreaming of him... Secondly, Turnip evokes the famous statement of Rene Descartes by noting that as long as he thinks, he exists."[1]
