This article is about the current version of DF.
A huge monster in the form of a snail.


Giant snails are predictably quite slow, as large as a Grizzly bear and generally harmless. They are a good source of meat, fat, and especially shells (mostly for artifact requirements) in a pinch. They can cripple and may kill an unarmored dwarf though, so you might want to send basic militia or a marksdwarf to hunt it.

Like standard snails, giant snails can be found in every non-freezing savage biome. They may occasionally appear as mounts during a siege, but only fools would ride into battle on something as slow and relatively harmless as a giant snail.
