D&D 5E Giant Snails in Medieval Manuscripts.

Keep the stupid snail facts coming.

I'm in a creative binge and going to make demons based on that and Uzamaki (so tell me your favorite tells on these as well) and see where it leads.

Oddly enough, I've used giants snails in D&D ever since I watched the original Doctor Doolittle, and they travelled in a giant snail.

Florida once again has giant calamitous snails that spew parasitic brain worms

This is the third time the state has tried to eliminate the giant snails.

more confirmation bias that making snail demons is justified. <evil grin>.

I just used a type of giant snail in my last game session...it was in the dream of a little six-year-old girl, who was trying to have a simple tea party with her stuffed animal, Mr. Bear, when the snail-babies started crying. The PCs had to help her rock all seven snail-babies to sleep, which was a bit of a problem at first because one of the 5 PCs had been "dream-kidnapped" by a night hag.

As all of this was all happening in the game, I had opened seven separate tabs on my computer, each set up to play an hour of crying baby noises. I had all seven of them going at once, which really helped set the mood.

I find the interpretation that they refer to "The wicked" from Psalm 58 compelling.

"As a snail which melteth, let every one of them pass away"​

So in my games, such creatures would tend to indicate that something's not right and that there is some wickedness afoot.

How has this thread gotten so far without a single mention of the flail snail? I am so disappointed in all of you right now.

Even with a necro'd thread, it's worth pointing out how the carcolh was a very real (to the people anyway) European mythological monster from French folklore. It just so happens that I have it in my upcoming Twilight Fables book

I used “Valley of the Snails” from Dungeon as a starting adventure for a still-going campaign in like 2017. I would have used this if it existed then.
