Flail Snail Miniature – Arcane-Shelled Behemoth of the Glittering Depths

Meet the Flail Snail

Few creatures in D&D lore are as beloved—and feared—as the Flail Snail. A mystical, slow-moving monstrosity native to the deep caverns of the Underdark (referenced in the Monster Manual, Open5e SRD, and Forgotten Realms resources), the Flail Snail is a mesmerizing combination of elemental magic, armored resilience, and bizarre beauty.

This creature’s shell glimmers with psychedelic hues, shimmering with arcane resonance. Meanwhile, its five mace-tipped tentacles snap outward like living flails, capable of crushing bone and breaking weapons. Even more extraordinary, the Flail Snail’s shell can absorb, refract, or unleash magical energy, making it both a formidable nemesis and a treasured prize to arcane collectors.

This resin miniature by Yasashii Kyojin Studio captures the Flail Snail in its full, surreal glory: towering shell spirals, wrinkled textures, and five spiked appendages raised in a dynamic, threatening pose. Whether players view it as a guardian, a wandering hazard, or a strange ally of the caverns, this creature will become an unforgettable centerpiece on your table.

From the Crafty Llama Tables

The cavern lights shimmer in unnatural colors—the party’s torches suddenly reflecting pinks, blues, and greens across the stone walls. Soft scraping echoes forward, followed by a heavy, rhythmic thumping. Then you see it.

A massive shell glides out of the darkness, swirling with iridescent hues. Five long tentacles rise like living maces, each tipped with jagged, star-shaped spikes. The creature pauses, its slime trail glistening with faint magical sparkles. A spellcaster instinctively raises their hand—but the moment the spell fires, the shell flashes brightly, and the magic ricochets across the cave like a rainbow lightning bolt.

The players scream.
The Flail Snail honks angrily.
Roll initiative.

Set this miniature at the center of the map, and watch your table light up with equal parts surprise, panic, and laughter. It’s the perfect blend of charm and danger.
