Tulip snails grow to be the size of a person's hand, but start out small. They need to eat constantly in order to grow, and love to eat the young fresh leaves of plants like lettuce. One might think this would upset gardeners who spent a great deal of effort trying to grow that lettuce, but experienced gardeners know tulip snails to be beneficial to their plants when handled properly. The snails rarely ever completely destroy a plant, and the young leaves grow back faster and stronger than before thanks to the snail's magical slime trail.
Wherever there are gardens, there are snails. However, exceptionally good gardeners around the Keep and Synara City might find special snails with delicate aragonite shells structured like flowers. Angiosperm snails come in many varieties, but the most sought after are the rose and tulip variety. These snails are known for having large beautiful blooms for shells, colored as brightly as the flowers they imitate. Each snail has a unique magical property, conveyed through various means. Nachtkoningin tulip snails are fully nocturnal, and can turn themselves into small stones during the day to evade predators.
