Snail Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a snail! It's...not much to brag about.

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Snails are not insects, I admit. But they're just as revolting to me.

 Snails are mollusks, you see, and are born wearing shells they cannot remove.

 Instead, their shells get bigger and bigger as they grow! Hoo! They must get heavy, don't you know!

 I suppose that's why they need a trail of mucus to move about. A truly foul form of transportation.
