Okay, points for that one.

The real question is, why aren't they minipets?

^^ I think some players dont find them very attracting.

But snails shall be cool as tameable beasts

They ARE mini pets...you can buy one from a guild vendor after getting a certain ach/rep lvl

Snail models don't even have attack animation. Just FYI.

Could you be more specific? I know about the Armadillo pet from the guild vendor, but have not heard anything but rumours about the snail.

If a moth can do damage by smacking its enemies, I fail to see how a snail can't so the same.
What's with all the snail-hate? Dirty phylumists!

I know how would it possible, it just doesn't do it. If you somehow tamed a snail and got it to attack something, it would just stand there and somehow dish out damage - because there's no animation for it.

I still don't like the idea of a snail hunter pet. There's just nothing particularly interesting about snails. Turtles are at least tough despite being slow, but snails?

You have to admit that watching a puny snail beat up Doomwalker would be awesome.

If it just stood there and damage it by just looking at it... would be kinda hilarious.

They use mental powers! Stare into my shell spiral...

I think they'd use the "Nevermind" spell amrasillias posted. I picture it acting the same way as what happened to the Nazi in Indian Jones and the Last Crusade.

what about eye beams like willy uses?

Go watch the most recent Naruto episode, he's fighting a giant snail/clam thing. Plenty of ways a snail could attack.
