Lore & Description

Appearance

A small snail with a translucent shell that glows pale green. The shell is speckled with shadowy patterns, and the snail's body is pale, slick, and slow-moving. The glow pulses in eerie rhythms, hinting at a weak, pervasive necrotic energy within.

Behavior & Origins

Gloomshell Snails haunt damp swamps and fog-draped forests. Their luminescent shells exude a faint necrotic energy that can siphon a little life from nearby prey. They prefer murky wetlands where their glow attracts wanderers who underestimate the snail's creeping threat. In battle, they radiate a measured calm, using their glow to lure opponents into close quarters before delivering draining strikes.
