giant snail
Huge shelled crawler
Giant snail refers to any of several unusually large land snail species, most commonly the Giant African Snail, which can reach eight inches in length.
These snails are kept as exotic pets in some countries but are considered invasive agricultural pests in others: Giant snails can devastate crops and gardens.
The term also appears in fantasy games and fiction, where giant snails are often rideable creatures or slow-moving monsters.
