OTHER COMMS IN THE HISTORYVERSE:
There were many depictions of knights fighting snails in the margins of medieval manuscripts. Either there was a centuries long war against giant snails, or maybe it was some kind of medieval meme.
Killer bunnies also make appearances, but giant snails were more popular.
I like the idea that it was the monks expressing their frustration with snails and rabbits eating their gardens. I can't remember where I heard it though.
I like to think that there was one time traveler that went back, introduced the meme/thought experiment about escaping the immortal snail that kills you instantly if it touches you (and knows where you are at all times), and peaced out.
It's a fucking snail, Ethelred! It's not about to flank me!
Dude's a souls player. Giant weapon, no clothes? That's every build that someone who never gets hit uses.
That weapon looks painful for poor snail ☹️
The snails know what they did.

To be fair: if you aren't wearing armor you don't have time to armor up. Shit takes halve an hour and 3 people
The snail of doom!
Decoy snail
