==Useful Info==
'''Torpor snails''' are massive gastropods which slowly drag themselves toward their prey, pounding you for moderate damage when in melee. While almost any character could easily outrun a torpor snail under ordinary circumstances, they naturally inflict the [[slow]] [[status effect]] on you and your allies simply by being within your [[line of sight]]. Torpor snails can be found in [[the Lair]] and [[the Spider's Nest]].

==Tips & Tricks==
*Unless you are a [[Formicid]], you'll want to dispatch these foes quickly when they're encountered along with other opponents. While slow is less deadly than [[paralysis]] and [[petrification]], it still greatly increases the danger of any encounter, and it ignores your [[willpower]].
*[[Wand of charming|Charming]] them will not only stop your slow, but it'll also slow enemies. However, their willpower is quite high. A [[scroll of vulnerability]] will lower it to reasonable levels. Without charming, using [[Wand of polymorph|polymorph]] will at least stop their slow effect.
*If you can't see it, it can't affect you. Reading a [[scroll of fog]] or walking past a corner will break the effect, allowing you to deal with anything that pursues you at normal speed (at least until the snail catches up).

==History==
*Prior to [[0.32]], grates and statues blocked torpor snails from applying slow.
*Prior to [[0.29]], [[allied]] or [[charm]]ed torpor snails would not slow enemies. However, they only had 40 willpower.
*In [[0.17]], their meat became edible.
*Torpor snails were added in [[0.15]].
