“I really only need to say this creature's name for you to understand why it's an abomination to all things good and pure in the world of monsters:The Flail Snail.”(headinjurytheater ,“DUNGEONS & DRAGONS:CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF VERY STUPID MONSTERS.”,2007)
“It's a giant snail. With six tentacles tipped with a mace-head. The flail snail is the medieval fantasy equivalent of a children's drawing of an imagined superhero, "Gun Man! He's awesome and his arms are guns and he shoots bad guys with his gun arms." Notably, Paizo made the choice to return the Flail Snail to life in a Pathfinder bestiary.”(CJ Miozzi,“The Dumbest Dungeons & Dragons Monsters Ever (And How To Use Them)”,2014)
“So we were playing Dungeons and Dragons and we encountered a Flail Snail.
I did an arcana check, and discovered that this particular one was a Stale Trail Flail Snail. I cast a Beam of Enfeeblement at it.
Then it was a frail Stale Trail Flail Snail.
When its shell shattered, one of the guys picked up all the pieces, saying that he wanted to use the fragments to make a shirt of Scale Mail.
He was making frail Stale Trail Flail Snail scale mail.
But the dungeon master decided that there was no rule we could bend enough to let him use his homemade armor.
So he threw away his failed frail Stale Trail Flail Snail scale mail.”(作者被删号,“So we were playing Dungeons and Dragons and we encountered a Flail Snail...”,2010)
