Killing a Flail Snail, the D&D equivalent of clubbing baby seals.
Well I've killed some flail snails huh?
That was the most layered joke I've ever made on the internet
i'd still do it
Or poaching elephants
@@VespertilioGiganticus *Deep druid voice* So you have chosen death.
@@7Celestron druids kill plenty of animals. they maintain balance, and nature doesnt care about feelings.
Me IRL: Snails are interesting characters and I like them.
Me in-game: "... Are they attacking a flail snail?"
DM: "Yes?"
Me: "I cast fireball, max level."
DM: "That doesn't hurt the snai-"
Me: "I know."
None will hunt my badies! Some cave druid
“I cast meteor swarm”
I cast summon salt
Ah, should've watched more of the video before commenting
tbh that would be an interesting encounter. a group of people, all an analogue to poachers, are attacking a flail snail. you can either join in or fight them off, perhaps using stuff like the snail's ability to deflect spells/ destructive force burst to your advantage
Gonna give the snail a chance to really fight back 🤣
"wow this sounds like a walking treasure chest" *get to the end of the video* "this snail is a good boy and must be protected!
Oki 9
🥲
Never cried over a creature, but these are truly worth my dampened cheek
Proceeds to farm them but let them die of old age, my character is a fey gnome he has nothing but time
I didn’t think this one would be the one that made me cry
How did it make u cry??
@@yourlordsirbastian108 Maybe it was the end, where the Snails cry their last
I saw this comment and was wondering what you were talkinga bout... then i got to the end
the poor cries :'(
@Pvic I was the same.
same, couldn't we just wait till it dies a natural death? he said they live about 4 years if you get 2 of the same species you can easily get a farm done where you just wait for them to die natural deaths... you could even give them the pretty crystals they like :,c
...you made me feel sorry for a mollusc. A *fictional* mollusc. Well played, sir.
Listen to The Mollusk by Ween
From now on, the snail's wailing has a 50% chance, per turn, of summoning a tarasque.
50% chance per turn and it wails for two turns
I love how D&D can have lore like ancient unknowable beings that created the first demons called Oberynth and then just have a giant snail that beats the shit out of you named a “flail snail” and still be absolutely fascinating and fun
sanddry a lot of d&d monster lore is based on ancient mythology. Definitely worth looking into, if you're curious! Beholders and Mind Flayers are some of the only unique creatures to the game.
@geoffrey cannon I often listen to podcasts at work (D&D and others) and just today I found “Myths and Legends” which has been great so far. So yeah I think people who really like D&D lore may like mythologies and such too
ironically, looking at how we name stuff in our world, "flail snail" may actually be a more 'realistic' name if we were to have such creatures in our world
I wish Hollywood would relize this and start cranking out some good d&d movies, its a massive world that can house pretty much any story you want to throw at it.
@@zeusdarkgod7727 Hollywood and good movies? Is that still allowed?
"when it loses all its tentacles, it retracts into its shell and wails until it dies minutes later"
If you attack this snail you're a monster and you should be ashamed of yourself.
I didn't think I'd be crying over a fictional snail today
DMs will be asking themselves, "Am I the monster for putting this poor creature in this situation, or are the player"?
Me to
Same, I'm gonna share this with some friends.
I was gonna hunt one too. Till he made it all sappy... damnit. Now I feel awful
Eh just purposely put my party in a very manipulated situation so they kill 2 flail snails and then I told them to watch this hah
killing a flail snail is a good test for sociopathy.....
DM: it was just looking at crystals as if they were pretty flowers , and now its screaming with ur sword stuck in its neck.
Player: so how much that shell worth tho?
That’s how you know who to center that 8th level fireball from a nearby Druid
*psychopathy
Search up the difference between sociopathy and psychopathy
@@kkTeaz no I think the meant what they said plus it could be used either way
To be perfectly honest no one has _ever_ told me about the flail snail.
I've clearly been missing out.
I would love to see more videos on the more exotic, peaceful creatures like this. We know a lot of the monsters, but we don't know much about the more passive denizens.
Monsters are any unnatural creatures, so these snails are monsters, too.
@@marmyeater that depends on how you're defining unnatural. In my opinion that refers to where they came from, so if the first flail snail was created by a wizard or some magical phenomenon then yes it's a monster, but if it evolved naturally then I would just call it an animal.
@@robinbeck7716 Anything with innate abilities that don't stem from nature (like an anti magic shell) is unnatural, and thus a monster. You could even qualify dwarves, elves, and halflings as monsters due to things like their stone cunning, sleep immunity, and luck. This was the oldest definition of monster I could find, and not just an opinion, so it's what I go with.
FLUMPHS
@@marmyeater Not to mention according to the rules even Humans are monsters.
My Bard Barbarian had one as a pet it was only dangerous when I started playing music
Bardbarian :)
Because the snail would headband? That's hilarious
@@eduardothomaz4261 headbang WITH a headband haha
In my mental image, the sanil is not even deliberately being dangerous, it just loves to 'dance' like a spaz, flailing all around when the beat is playing.
So it's an evil action in most circumstances to kill them, understood.
It's so chaotic evil that Asmodeus will launch a crusade against you if you do.
So Chaotic Evil that Demon Lords might consider ascending you into demonhood after your death.
@@Alex-gl8li so, it's like killing Xanathar's goldfish?
@@captainthorrek262 Or maybe killing Clamu, from Spongebob?
More evil than you know. This video never touches on the fact flail snails are fully sapient, with a society, a culture, and they keep entire libraries. Communicating via chemicals and patterns in their slime trails. You're not just looking at a passive animal here, you're looking at a harmless person.
My favorite part is when I learn about the weird habits of the creature or bonus stuff I didn’t know, like Death Knights singing during a full moon or Silver Dragons being able to walk on clouds. After that my favorite is reproduction.
Oooooo where is the Death Knight stuff from? That sounds strangely haunting which absolutely fits DKs
@@sanddry738 You could try the death knight video.
@sanddry You could also read the Dragonlands Chronicles, as it has a Death Knight in it named Lord Soth, a Death Knight so iconic he got into the Monster Manual for 5th edition. Also the Dragonlance Chronicles is good anyway.
@@ihavealifeyaknow6827 I tried reading Dragonlance books, and they were awful. I rarely fail to finish a book, and usually because its boring and it just stays on the table until I move it away.
Dragonlance books are one of only a handful EVER that I decided I actively dislike and wanted to stop reading.
Yup, gonna throw this at some players of mine, just for that depressed wailing at the end.
I'm evil. Let's see if they are too.
What if they just leave it alone?
Or are they dumbasses like my players and will attack it irregardless
use this as the wail czcams.com/video/KdSds1frj_Q/video.html

"since we're already on the topic of loot your favorite subject besides reproduction"
My god he knows his audience well.
real adventurer mindset
Dear god I just wanted a fun video about a DnD monster not to feel like a heartless bastard for getting an anti magic shell
i know right. i feel so evil for letting them get killed in my games
Everything has a cost. The most valuable things cost the most.
You should feel bad, you're a bad person that does bad things
why cant people just wait for 20 years for it to die
@@dinothunder629 I agree. If there are even people who make a living out of using the snail trail for glasswork, then having a flail snail farm sounds pretty plausible.
Just raise the snails somewhere comfy and safe and take care of them. They'll produce a trail for you during all of their lives, and you can use their bodies once they naturally die so it won't cause them pain.
Time to learn how a Flail Snail is more than slow-moving treasure. What exactly did those Wizards do?!
Anus stuff
It's potentially good use for glassmaking cuz of that slimetrail it leaves. They are like cows or perhaps sheep.
The description of how a Flail Snale dies straight up made me cry, they are now and forever one of my favorite D&D monsters...
Thank you for this video.
Here to remind you of this video over a hear later ^^
i like the flail snail. my party wanted to hunt down one until they found out itwas protected by treants
I want to farm them aka have a farm of Flail snails and then collect the shells when thy die by old age.
Shells, mucus trail, darts, liver, ect. if you're willing to wait 20 years.
@@Nyghtking For 5000gp per snail every 20 years and all the glass you can scrape off the ground, that would actually be commercially viable...
You'd just need to find something to feed them with, and some way to keep them penned in.
@@Reddotzebra Don't they just eat dirt and rocks? So, little to no upkeep cost.
I'd be willing to be a business partner
Ok math done about 7 silver a day if you average it out not including the glass which is nice comparing it to the average 1-5 silver a day of the average civilian
I'm going to break my players hearts with a snail.
Same. I may have to use one in my stream game Friday.
You see my players don't have hearts I don't think so hopefully *that mask falls off* to reveal any emotion but eh whatever
It’s decided, I’m putting a flail snail farm in my Campaign. The owner will have a no killing policy, and simply collects the glass they leave behind. A simple life, where all are happy
I suggest making the owner a longlived race like Elf.
That way it isn't really weird when you have a dude willing to wait 20 years for a harvest.
I'm referring to the shells of course, the glass would be a constant source of income while the shells would serve as a burst of wealth on a 20 year delay
@@basbarbeque6718 So the big thing about the shells is you don't just get one every 20 years - they lay multiple eggs and multiple will hatch, so you would get anywhere between 1 to like 5 or so shells every ~5-10 years, staggered a bit randomly over the course of time. Fairly profitable, especially if you can support a flail snail population that can grow to a rather large size.
@@JetBalrog Dolla dolla bills yall.
I can already imagine an NPC, or the family of a noble PC being rich from successfully ranching a large amount of Flail snails.
Honestly if I wasn't a forever DM I'd make a PC who's goal was to acquire Flail snail eggs so he could start a farm
5000 gold every 20 years at the bare minimum is enough for an average commoner life style. Though, each snail can lay a clutch of eggs, so you could get 3-5 snails for every one adult snail. Then you could harvest the shells once the snail dies of old age. And people already eat snails in our world, so I would imagine the meat would bring in a good price. I could see a noble family of Drow keeping a large cavern full of snails and just letting them roam, maybe introducing more food if it runs low.
Thats how you establish an economy in an area with few or no usable resourses. Sell off the glass for supplies and protection. Soon its a village, then a city. 100 yrs later you have a metropolis centered on sustainable snail farming. Snails would be great at clean up, too. Then your city janitorial staff are just well paid glass collectors
DM: Did you do it?
Me: Yes
DM: What did it cost?
Me: Everything
Firefly larvae eat snails before metamorphosis into the adult form.
It would be cool to have one in D&D...you know, with that magical twist to it.
Rather than eat the flail snail, they would probably feed on the disruption of the snail's shell forming a symbiotic relationship. They protect the snail and the snail gives them substanence.
I could picture a wasp doing this, and the wasp hatches from the shell, fully formed and retaining some of the anti-magical properties of the snail's shell.
I assume the fire part of firefly is going to come into effect
I always thought the Flail Snail was some joke monster. I mean, it still kind of is, but it's meant to be cute and that sorta shocks me haha. I like 'monsters' like these, creatures that are just 'of the world' and have magical abilities and stuff but aren't really dangerous to humans in any way. They aren't there to kill, they're there to remind you that not everything in this world is something that needs to be killed.
Great video!
5k gold you were fucking saying?
@@hardwirecars It's wail can summon anything nearby. The depths of worlds are not inhabited by only the weak.
hardwire listen dawg if you wanna get manhandled by whatever the fuck they summon with that cry that’s all you. Lugging 250 pounds of shell out of a cave fighting bullettes, trolls, or possibly umber hulks is all you.
Funny how like 80% of the biology discussed here also is real for actual snails.
With the exception of all magical/alchemical stuff. Ou and the cry ofc.
Finally, the knowledge that we *really* need
Mmmm... A "treasure" dungeon might be fun. In it there's a small stash of gold, with some treasure chests and other nice things, with a flail snail in the center, maybe even resting on some of the more valuable items, the players (hopefully) go after it first, when it dies, it sings it's song, and then some of the chests start to growl and attack, revealing themselves to be mimics!
And once the mimics are dead, maybe a dragon shows up to find a group of adventures have just trashed his horde!
and his pets...so now even a gold dragon would be pissed
A gold dragon that keeps a pet flail snail and pet mimics, there's an interesting concept!
The stuff'd be encased in glassy-smooth dried-slime.
I want to make a town of Kobolds who specialize in breeding, raising, and harvesting Flail Snails.
Please do. That would be a sight to see.
Maybe they do it to harvest shells for a dragon they serve. Such magical items could be useful to a dragon, or they could be sold, and the gold gained added to the dragons hoard.
I seem to have found the person of culture in the comment section.
@@dorianrobinette9712 Chances are the dragon would consider the snails themselves to be part of the hoard, they are beautiful creatures. The shells are just a bonus.
@doombybbr I doubt that knowing dragons. If we're talking chromatics here they wouldn't give a crap about the actual snail.
Those last 2 minutes, with that piano in the background,really got me in the feels.
i just wanted to let you know how much i appreciate your videos. i can't afford to support you but i needed to let you know that these informational videos have been absolutely essential to my craft, which is character design and d&d commissions. i especially love how you will research differing artworks and call attention to it like you did in the Behir video. So, here's a huge thank you! (also your accent drives me crazy in the good way)
When I ran AD&D campaigns, I generally made killing, even attacking flail snails ruled an "act of evil". I had a group of orcs show up to see the adventurers were the ones who killed the fail snail. The lead orc screamed "Killed a flail snail and you consider OUR kind evil? You will die screaming!" Keep in mind that those orcs were evil and they were disgusted at the adventurers' evil.
I mean killing for the sake of killing is cruel and as such is a potentially evil act. Monsters in D&D should really be treated by what they do, not the fact they are just classified as 'monster'.
Wow. That actaully made me really sad. The music and the way you spoke about it dieing. Damn. I never want to hunt a flail snail ever now.
Me: How could anyone hunt such a magestic creature T_T
Party Member: You can craft anti magic armor with them.
Me: *Raises Sword while breathing heavy*
Congratulations! You're evil now!
Hunt demons and Devils that have the same effect
or you can get a ranger and one shot it no wailing then. or plug your ears and pray you dont have dreams for the rest of your days.
You should honestly write a lore book and put it on kickstarter! Even if the 1st module was just dragons thatd be amazing!
5,000 gold reward potential for a single CR 3 creature seems pretty hefty...
But can you bear the emotional burden? 🤔
I think a good DM would say that hunting these things is either Chaotic Neutral or just Evil. Flail Snails sound like happy little creatures that just want to continue being mundane.
a cr3 monster that has a chance of calling in a nearby cr15 monster.
murderhobo bait
The death scream can attract really dangerous stuff
Since it can't see, i wonder if it just enjoys the scent of mineral deposits. Or perhaps the perception of light glittering or reflecting off of crystals.
Oh I didnt expect this video to make me so sad :( I love flail snail I wish to protecc flail snail
Me too, I wanna hug em
in a recent past session we came across a flail snail and im now happy we took our time to observe it and just give it a wide birth even though we knew its value.
I was already thinking of maibe putting a flail snail in my campaign, but the opportunity to make my party potentially feel like murderhobos is to good to pass up.
Murderhobos don't have a conscience.
The music choice when you discussed the wailing was the perfect choice. I don't think i ever teared up during one of these videos before.
These guys are my favorite monster ever!
I remember one time when my party was hunting through a forest for a couple of devils, and after we found them, the fight started to turn a little bad for us. Then, through the trees, we saw a few trees seem to move in between the trunks. As it turned out, it was an ent with a couple boulders under its arms that was investigating the noise. These boulders also turned out to be a pair of flail snails which the ent was carrying around, looking for the devils, actually. Upon finding the situation, he chucked the snails into the fight, whereupon they basically beat the tar out of the two devils and instantly turned the fight around in our favor~
Weaponized flail snails, nice.
Has anyone ever made a campain that envolves the players to have great knowledge on monters or theory on the world? It would be a very nerdy game but god I would love it so much.
Honestly a Monster Hunter-style campaign would be great for a mix of combat and lore
I like to spend a few hours with each of my players for that exact purpose. I'm actually doing that this week, and i'm planning on implementing some juicy bits of lore with them.
You should look into the Pathfinder versions sometime. They have their own scent and chemical based language and are wise as hell.
So get some snails to guard a hoard. When they get beat up they scream so "sounding the alarm"
And that's when you summon the warlocks that specializes in summoning demons to kill the players after they killed all of the flail snail guards.
Flail snails are not good guards. They will ignore any thieves unless attacked.
Damn now i want this thing as a pet in a dnd session XD
Me before watching this video : Oh boy another monster to understand how to put in my games
Me after watching this video : Why are adventurers monsters... I love snails they are the nicest and I would never harm them :'-(
"How To Make Your Players Feel Like Shit"
-
Have your PC's go on a Side Quest, sent by an NPC saying to defeat the Flail Snail because they need it to do their lively hood/need it for a spell/healing component to save someone. Make sure this person is bullshitting and only wants the shell for the money.
-
Once they find it, make a point of saying it's passive and just casually wiggling around, looking almost happy as it eats rocks.
Then, as they cut off the tentacles, make sure that it tries to 'run' away, but it's too slow. Now, as there are no more tentacles it cries and whines and screeches because it's *in so much pain and it's so, so miserable*. As it goes inside it's shell, crying and whining, have it so that the 'Heroes' have slowly hear it die.
-
Boom, you have Guilty PC's who suddenly feel like shit, and they have a motive to deep root a Terrible market that actually only thirsts for gold and pretends to use shells for Healing properties.
I would love to hear about other strange monsters like *the Grick and the Hookhorror*
I wish more monsters had this type of ‘natural loot’ where the hide/parts of the monster have use and value
Same here, instead of being like "ah, yes, I killed this giant bird and got 40 gold."
I REALLY want to see a video about player races, especially one about changelings and if they have any relation to doppelgangers.
7:36 I don't know what I expected magical experimentation to look like, but it was not this. And yet, nothing seems more appropriate.
Gotta love curious wizards
Man, that ending, wtf, i actuallyfelt that... damn man... damn...
Well shoot. I was thinking of throwing one of these at my players and seeing what they do but I don't think I could handle it if they actually killed it.
I could... and I would deliberately make them feel bad for killing one. How pitterful can a DM wail for 5d6 minutes while the players try to figure out what to do.
If they kill it, have the death wails attract something bigger and stronger. Like big daddy snail. Or just a dragon.
On a campaign I’m playing we found the trail of a flail snail in playing a armorer artificer tortle that had to make a new shell from metal and armor to survive after an incident. I’m a famous armorer that makes all sorts of magic armors and I plan to use the shell of the snail as my next armor upgrade (going from+1 to +2 and magic resistance is gonna be hella nice )
I admit this is probably my favorite monster in D&D so I was happy to see this video
I am an aspiring DM, I love listening to your vids while I am working on making soap during the day, I actually had to stop at the end of this one because it made me cry. I am new to D&D but I think you just sold me on my new favorite beasty, and I will have a very hard time not crying should one ever die in a campaign.
On another note: Keep up the good work!! I love listening to you, I appreciate your hard work and research.
It really is a shame that the Flail Snail is an elemental instead of a beast. If it was a beast it would have a chance at being tamed for a pet instead of hunted as a trophy.
Elementals can still be kept as pets.
druids can change shape into a elemental right so does that mean a druid could turn into a flail snail?
@@SeanInch3D yes
But it is DnD, so the rules are malleable. Why not make it some sort of elemental beast (I.e. a beast that is native to one of the elemental planes that isn't as intelligent as beings like elementals or genies)
the end of this video take me away from any desire that I have to hunt this monster, Good Job man!
The most powerful ability the flail snail has is "guilt trip".
Tremorsense is probably from just its real soft body that might be prone to jiggling if there are tremors
Now I want myconoids riding trained (spore based mind control) flail snails. Basically mushroom tanks/mobile colony.
At 10ft that is slower than a myconid
You really don't need the spores. Though a permanently enlarged flail snail would do the trick presiding if you are able to succeed.
As You Wish they could easily be beasts of burden or used as a form of transportation that multiple myconids could use at once.
Bro, you should’ve warned me for the end because I wasn’t ready 😞
I think having a flail snail farm where we would harvest the shells of flail snails that died of old age would both be ethically acceptable and profitable.
I think the entry about relishing crystal growths is about them feeding on them. The Volos entry says they eat rocks, sand and crystals, which they metabolize into the mucus which gardens into glass. I think it would be awesome to see some npc that open range farms flail snails for their glass trails, feeding them rocks, sand, and other geological waste from some nearby quarry.
We played a campaign where our group befriended a village of Drow that farmed flail snails. They prized their herds and made so many fantastic items harvested from the natural deaths of the snails. One of our campaign highlights
Okay, now I REALLY WANT to use a Flail Snail in an adventure. Luckily, I'm building a world that has a seaside citadel with a rather large sewer system.
Instead of medieval flail... we got the medieval snail.
I just wanted to say I super appreciate these videos. I've tried watching other DND CZcamsrs like esper The Bard Petfinder content to be too patronising to the new additions and their lack of detail. Where is you are rather objective and simply explain things without demeaning the addition. Great work I love all of your videos
Well except for Flumphs lmao
"Look how they massacred my boy!"
Always been one of my favorite creatures do to just how much flavor it was given. I really hope they do more on owlbears too.
WOTC: Hey here is this cool monster you can use in your campaigns alongside some lore that you can expand to suit your world!
MrRhexx: Cool but how do they f u c c
you could, while unethical, easily get younger versions of these into a box by making light behind it and then takign them to a breeding facility where you can get a constant supply of +2 shields and potions and stuff
Geez, that wailing time changed a lot with 5th ed. From 6-18 seconds to 5-30 minutes
I love these endings man
it realy gives the viewer a feeling.
the sucubus video u made a time ago also had this intense vibe about it, love it man keep on going
I was just scrolling through his videos and refreshed the page and this popped up
"But since we're on the topic of loot your favorite topic besides reproduction"
MrRhexx you can't call adventurers out like that you cheeky lore scribe
Havent played one game of D&D, but i love watching these kinds of lore vids. Hoping to not be totally lost when the day comes lol
Hey! You showcased my flail snail art (5:17 - 5:33) ! Thanks, MrRhexx. I love your videos.
For additional Flail Snail lore, you might want to check out "Misfit Monsters Redeemed" by Paizo Publishing. The flail snails of Golarion use their slime to write long, complicated poetry in Underworld caverns.
Im sad XD I actually Like snails and slugs personally
Remember kids: humane harvesting of resources over cruel butchering. Monsters feel too!
Must say, I appreciate the inclusion of real snails pictures to illustrate certain points. It also remind you that the real world can be weirder than any fictional creature.
Rest in peace all flail snails, you didn’t deserve this cruel world 😢
Hunting this beautiful, frail, creature that wants nothing more to live... all for the greed and avarice of its shell.
Who's the real monster here?
Actually, unless you were also not breathing, then it would probably still be able to feel the air currents. Also, if there were any ambient wind, it probably wouldn't be hard to tell that there's something standing in the middle of it, disrupting the flow.
I mean, a something sitting stationary in the middle of an air current would likely be considered something like a rock or something... sooo as long as you weren’t breathing/moving you’d be completely invisible
I love this creature... this video had me on the creatures side the whole time cause it’s so cool but when that ending hit me I fell in love with this amazing creature
Imagine a Lich or a DeathKnight who is actually lawful good who takes care of stray animals and raises flailsnails
Got damnit its always the animals that make me cry.
This makes me want to create a Flail Snail Ranch in my Underdark campaign...

@@sanddry738 idk but its time to do a little homebrewing
Personally, I prefer the monster lore.
Yeh, it is not bad at all, just that i am so hyped to hear about some gods in specific and all
It would be amazing if you could cover a race that I've seen no one cover the *Wolfborn*
The need for love darts suggests a related species, so I came up with the lantern snail, which is a nocturnal species that feeds on bioluminescent moss in the faewild and has glowing growths on its tendrils. The shell has camouflage and magic deflection properties. The shell is conical. The snail can distinguish different types of magic and track them. They are often kept as pets or carry palanquins for fairies.
You illuminate the forgotten realms, like an agitated snail.
Thank you.
Where do giant snails come from?
Giant's toes!! Duh!!
Considering cloud giants are apparently known for grand gardens, having a flail snail in a giant cabbage patch would be fitting.
