Hammer snails are 5 ft, carnivorous gastropods with hard shells and resilient, rubbery hides. They attack foes by hammering them with their five flail like stalks, or crushing them against the floor or walls with their body. On a natural 19, the target is crushed by the creature's bulk, losing their next action (Luck (Con) save resists).

Hammer snails attack the same target with all five hammer stalks until unconscious or dead before selecting another target (or tenderising the victim into a pulpy mass which the snail consumes). If struck by three or more hammer stalks in one round, the target must roll on the Injuries & Setbacks table. Truly monstrous variants up to 16 ft in length are not unknown (HD 14, damage 1d8+2).
