    Lightbulb New Mount Idea: Racing Snail

    Sure, it's a Never Ending Story ripoff, but I would love to have something like this

    It is apparently the hard cast mold of the snail from the movie. I would absolutely do something more ingame style like a shimmershell or something. Like Scooter:

    What in the 9 hells is that?

    Also we need those snails from before ji-kun trash as mounts. How good would it be to just mow down everyone that walks infront of you.

    I say yes to this. They could even just use the snail from ToT - you know the snail I mean... especially if you are a melee.

    Riding Snail

    You mount on your giant mollusc and slowly (but surely) ride into battle.
    This is a very slow mount.


    Buff:
    Decreases movement speed by 60%
    There is a thin line between not knowing and not caring, and I like to think that I walk that line every day.

    I'd rather have a dryad mount
    Warlorcs of Draenorc made me quit. You can't have my stuff.

    I would LOVE a snail mount.

    That said, I'm still waiting for my maggot mount that I have been pining for since motherfuckin' classic. I knew once I first laid eyes on [the original sized] Borelgore that I needed one I could charge into town on.

    I'd totally go for a snail mount.

    Currently playing Borderlands 1 remaster. Amped for Borderlands 3.

    That snail has a camel jaw and mouth structure.

    As long as whenever i rode over someone it killed them.

    Take snails from jikun trash
    Put saddle on them
    Mount up

    Profit?

    But in all seriousness a snail mount would be pretty awesome, same speed as a turtle and maybe leave a trail behind

    I'm troubled by people in this thread having apparently never seen the Never Ending Story.

    That being said, as a huge fan of Jim Henson movies I am all for a racing snail. Seriously folks... Never Ending Story, Dark Crystal, Labyrinth... classic!
