-*Unless you are a [[Formicid]], you'll want to dispatch these foes quickly when they're encountered along with other opponents. Treat them like a milder version of [[floating eye]]s; while slow is less deadly than [[paralysis]], it still greatly increases the danger of any encounter, and it ignores your [[willpower]].

 *[[Wand of charming|Charming]] them will not only stop your slow, but it'll also slow enemies. However, their willpower is quite high. A [[scroll of vulnerability]] will lower it to reasonable levels. Without charming, using [[Wand of polymorph|polymorph]] will at least stop their slow effect.
 *If you can't see it, it can't affect you. Reading a [[scroll of fog]] or walking past a corner will break the effect, allowing you to deal with anything that pursues you at normal speed (at least until the snail catches up).

-'''Torpor snails''' are massive gastropods which slowly drag themselves toward their prey, pounding you for moderate damage when in melee. While almost any character could easily outrun a torpor snail under ordinary circumstances, they naturally inflict the [[slow]] [[status effect]] on you and your allies simply by being within your [[line of sight]], though grates and statues will block this effect. Torpor snails can be found in [[the Lair]] and [[the Spider's Nest]].
