“Snail, snail, slug-slow,
To me thy four horns show;
If thou dost not show me thy four,
I will throw thee out of the door,
For the crow in the gutter,
To eat for bread and butter.”
-Silesian rhyme, _Notes and Queries_, Number 69. 1851



Useful Info

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 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  • Before they've withdrawn into their shell, any character can easily kite them to death.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.

History

Agate snails were removed in 0.14.
