The Snail, also known as Garden Snail, is a foe found in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4. It appears primarily in Vegetable Forest (EBF3) and Crystal Caverns (EBF4). Whilst a different species, it may be considered as the weakest member of the Crab family as it shares many properties with them and has relatively similar appearance.
Appearance
The Snail is a large green snail with a brown shell and alarmingly inflated eyes.
Overview
The Snail does have certain defensive abilities, but aside of that they're nothing special, with nothing else but a weak Water attack (and an Earth attack in EBF3). Dispel the buffs if it's a problem. A strong attack might be enough to kill it even with buffs active.
While they have an interesting relationship with just about all elements, the player should focus on other foes in the wave and take out the Snail via multi-target attacks. If you particularly need to kill a Snail, going for Tundra or Iceshard should suffice.
