It’s a fucking snail, Ethelred! It’s not about to flank me!
There were many depictions of knights fighting snails in the margins of medieval manuscripts. Either there was a centuries long war against giant snails, or maybe it was some kind of medieval meme.
Killer bunnies also make appearances, but giant snails were more popular.
I like the idea that it was the monks expressing their frustration with snails and rabbits eating their gardens. I can’t remember where I heard it though.
I like to think that there was one time traveler that went back, introduced the meme/thought experiment about escaping the immortal snail that kills you instantly if it touches you (and knows where you are at all times), and peaced out.
That weapon looks painful for poor snail ☹️
The snails know what they did.

Dude’s a souls player. Giant weapon, no clothes? That’s every build that someone who never gets hit uses.
Decoy snail
The snail of doom!
To be fair: if you aren’t wearing armor you don’t have time to armor up. Shit takes halve an hour and 3 people
