Snail

Snail is the green-shelled, slow-shuffling creature that nearly every adventurer claims as their very first kill, found across the Snail Hunting Grounds and the maps east of spawn on Maple Island. Sam's introductory quest, Sam's Suggestion, sends new beginners after a handful of them.

It spawns on 37 maps, the fourth widest spread of any monster in the game, and 355 can be up at once across all of them.

It is among the weaker returns for its level band: Red Snail pays roughly 2.6 times as much for the same damage dealt.

It is the only monster that drops Snail Shell.
