| A huge gastropod with a lime-green shell. Torpor snails are said to be in some way connected with the god Cheibriados; just being near them is enough to slow the movements of unwary adventurers, leaving them easy prey for the snails' terrifying, ever-gnashing radulae. |
Useful Info
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. Torpor snails can be found in the Lair.
Tips & Tricks
Barring a source of stasis to counter their passive slow, you'll want to dispatch these foes quickly when they're encountered along with other opponents. Treat them like a milder version of giant eyeballs; while slow is less deadly than paralysis, it still greatly increases the danger of any encounter, and it ignores your magic resistance.
History
Torpor snails were added in 0.15.
