Turban Shell Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

“"I got a turban shell! It's totally TURB...ular!"”

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

　 “The turban shell is a snail with a rather nifty trick up its sleeve... er, shell.
You see, this snail carries a hard, round, button-like “operculum” with it wherever it goes.
What is an operculum, you ask? Why, it is a trapdoor of sorts!
When danger approaches, the snail slips into its shell and pulls this trapdoor closed over the opening.
Thus it is locked safe and sound inside. And bravo, I say! Bravo!
When trouble comes knocking, just do what the turban shell does. Shut the door and turn out the lights!”
