✦ The Snail Grove! ✦

✦ Welcome ✦

This is a wonderous place where strange fantasy snails wander, untouched by mankind, until now. Their docile nature and beautiful patterns quickly caught people's eyes, and now breeding for special colours and traits has become a respected practice.

This is where these majestic creatures come to rest and where the Snail guardian keeps a record of them. This includes but is not limited to, the master list, family trees, a genetic guide, and each snail's genetic code.

Enjoy your stay at the grove.

✦ Species Information ✦

Gulielmus concoloris, or "Will's Snail" as it's commonly referred to, is an extraordinarily unique and fantastical snail species. These snails can grow up to 30 centimetres long with a 12 cm diameter shell, and weigh anywhere from 250 to 500 grams. This large hearty critter thrives in the glorious tropical climate of The Snail Grove but is extremely adaptable. They come in a rainbow of colours, and a wide variety of exotic traits such as spikes, wings, and even a skeletal structure and legs.
