Lore
Skyshells are snails of an enormous scale that are both savior and bane to the dark wodes of the world. They travel randomly, albeit slowly and more than one soul has met their end by being enveloped in their gelatinous mass. With the recent taint in the world, the Skyshells have been seen more of a savior's outpost than a great beast. Skyshells befuddle many common horrors by being an a mobile, easily defended, and difficult to counter fortress. Skyshells themselves are all but invulnerable and it is very difficult to dislodge any inhabitants on one.
Skyshells will have lustrous blue shells that gleam like mother-of-pearl in bright sunlight. Their flesh is a lighter blue and very durable beneath a perpetual coat of slime. The thick coat of slime that cakes the trail of the larger snails dries very quickly and is known as a potent hallucinogenic if devoured. In sufficiently high doses it can be a poison if concentrated enough, which is known by the more knowledgeable witchdoctors. Skyshells have no predators and they are straight forward creatures who roam about munching on the fast-growing forests. It is said that they can not cross boundaries of salt, and some enterprising inhabitants can lead a Skyshell by diverting it with large salt rocks. Some say that entire villages have found their doom simply by wretched beings guiding a Skyshell, salt rock by salt-rock, to cross paths with their victims.
Skyshells have a wholly alien intellect and perhaps do not perceive smaller creatures in the slightest. No Skyshell is known to have died, but they have inadvertently slain many. Skyshells make prominent, but very rare outposts and settlements. Should a Skyshell ever be corrupted, it indeed would be a great woe to the world.
Mechanics
No Shyshell has ever perished by violence. Any being so foolish as to be in the path of a Skyshell as it travels is simply never heard from again.
