Y'all seen this scaly snail that's making the rounds on the internet. Love exotic animals like this. It's scales and shell are made of iron (among other things, though there is another variant of the species without iron, it is white).

Look at this SHIT:

They live a few miles underneath the ocean at the base of volcanic smoke stacks. Apparently scientists believe that the scales are potentially made by the parasites living on the snail which the snail also utilizes for food.

I think I've killed a few of these in various jrpgs.

Seriously, though, nature never ceases to fascinate.

yeah it's metal as fuck... especially considering it has iron scales.

Also, it totally looks like a JRPG enemy. Like, dunno, Lavos spawn or some shit.

When you want to wear a killer gothic ballgown but also a tactical helmet to prevent buckets dropping from the prom rafters...

Nope. The shell is comprised of 3 layers and the middle organic layer is hypothesized to protect the snail from pressured attacks such as jaws. This thing is snail perfected.

So the only way to hurt it is to trick it into crawling on top of a bomb, then attacking the fleshy parts for the few seconds they goosh out before it recovers?

Dang, I haven't even upgraded my bomb bag either.

We're doing animals that look like Pokemon?
I give you the Leaf Sheep, one of the few animals that can photosynthesize.

Those scales kinda creep me out. Reminds me of the pics I saw of people with Tree Man Syndrome (don't google if you're squeemish to body horror type stuff).

I want someone to do some cool giant creature art with this. It's too cool.
