This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

A creature with the shape of a man, but with stalks for eyes, and a great shell on its back.

Snail men are animal people variants of the common snail, who can inhabit most savage biomes. They spawn in groups of 1-3 individuals and are generally content to keep to themselves, but may pick fights if provoked. In terms of size, they are a little over half the weight of the average dwarf. Although standard snails have no legs, snail men have legs, a fact not reflected in their sprite.

Like other savage animal people, snail men can join civilizations, become historical figures, appear as visitors and be playable in adventurer mode.

Some dwarves like snail men for their shells.

Has trouble fleeing from trouble.
