I like that theory! (And I like the Lion Turtle parallell. ...I'm a sucker for anything Avatar.) I think the idea could work, except the island didn't wander and eat before Tier enchanted it. I think if it were originally a giant turtle, it would have done some floating around and eating ships before he arrived and worked his sorcery. If it is a giant turtle, maybe his method of making it 'alive' was turning it into a giant turtle.

EDIT: I remembered there are caves within the island! Not sure how that would work out inside a living creature.
