Sluggish gastropods crawling ocean floor sands
The Sea Snail is an uncommon aquatic mollusk that inhabits the ocean floors on the far eastern and western edges of the world. Featuring 40 health and 10 defense, it glides steadily across sunken sand beds, inflicting 20 contact damage in Classic, 40 in Expert, and 60 in Master mode if touched by careless divers.
Harvesting purple mucus for cosmetic dye creation
Because Sea Snails move exceptionally slowly along the sea bottom, players can eliminate them with simple spears or underwater projectile weapons without taking return damage. Defeating this quiet gastropod guarantees a 100% drop rate for Purple Mucus. Taking this mucus to a Dye Vat allows players to brew rich Purple Dye for armor and accessory customization.
Trivia
- Sea Snails are non-aggressive until players swim directly into their shells on the ocean floor.
- Their spawn rate is low, making Water Candles and Battle Potions helpful when farming dye.
