'''Agate snails''' are slow, lumbering hulks which deal moderate damage and have a tough protective shell, but move and act at less than half average speed. When badly injured, it will [[withdrawn|withdraw]] into its shell, granting it +10 [[AC]] and [[regeneration]] but rendering it harmless and stationary. They can be found in [[the Lair]].
 
 
 
==Tips & Tricks==
 
*Before they've withdrawn into their shell, any character can easily [[kite]] them to death. Even flimsy characters with decent weapons should be able to finish them off safely after they withdraw.
