Tamago Onsen, literally "Hot Springs Egg" and also known as Tama-chan, is a flying turtle in the Love Hina series. Mutsumi gave Tama-chan to Keitaro as a gift. Keitaro notes that the turtle is male, but the girls are convinced it is female, so it is referred to as 'she' throughout the manga. She is an 'onsen kame' or hot-springs turtle, like others of her species. Su, Mutsumi, Seta, and (later in the series) Keitaro appear to have the ability to speak with Tama-chan. Su occasionally develops the urge to eat her, though sometimes this is just to tease Shinobu (in the manga, a side note states that Su drops this habit to wait for Tama-chan to reproduce).
