Giant snail

The Giant snail (Achatina Acidia Giganteus) is a large snail that can be encountered during the Temple Trekking activity. It uses an incredibly accurate Magical Ranged attack, which hit accurately through melee armour; a Snelm will negate most damage and Protect from Missiles will prevent it completely. It also has fairly high Hitpoints and Defence, so beware. It will spend most of the fight trying to retreat, until it is backed up against something.

Giant Snails will always drop a snail shell. Snail shells can be sold to Barlak in Dorgesh-Kaan for 600 coins. Giant Snails will also sometimes drop a perfect snail shell; this can be sold to Barlak for 1,000 coins and 500 Crafting experience points.

Trivia

 * Much like spiders, the snails produce a kind of slime or silk, which can be woven into nets as detailed by Master Peregrim in the Return to Canifis novel.
