The Glowing Snail is an uncommon critter that only spawns on Mushroom Biomes. It can be caught using the Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into a Glowing Snail Cage to be placed as an animated furniture item, and it also gives off a small amount of blue light. It cannot be released once crafted. Its counterpart is the Snail.

Along with it's uncommon chance to spawn, it often spawns together with or near enemies, causing it to be killed rather easily by them or by accident by the player. It is also quite large compared to the normal cave dwelling counterpart, looking like an enemy rather than a critter. Due to this it is one of the hardest critters to find and catch.

Glowing snails can be used as bait for fishing, having a 15% bait rating.

A Glowing Snail cage occupies a 3x2 space. The Glowing Snail inside may follow the following patterns randomly:

  • Hide inside its shell
  • Try to climb up to the ceiling of the cage and fall to the ground
  • Make a whole loop around its cage

Notes

  • If a Glowing Snail would happen to spawn in a Mushroom Biome underground they would die instantly. Because of this it is much recommended that you search for glowing snails in the above ground Mushroom Biome.
