Deathcargot

From Dragon Quest Wiki

The Deathcargot is a gastropod introduced in Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past. It is one of the first monsters the party can encounter when they first gain access to a ship.

Characteristics[edit]

Slimey, slippery hard shelled sea snails that stick themselves to the side of seafaring ships for some unknown reason, surprising those fresh out on the ocean by attacking with its freakish expanding mollusk mouth. Green skinned and under the protection of a humongous dual horned shell, the deathcargot rolls at enemies spike first in an attempt to crush them, even being able to hide in the horned shell to defend from adventurers' attacks. Surprisingly, they can also sling a magical shard of ice with the Crack spell.
