Ecology
Flail Snail is a being of one of the inner planes, summoned, escaped, or birthed where planar boundaries thin. It is most often found in forest regions. It is large-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.
Behaviour
Flail Snail is simple in motivation but immense in reach — fire wants to burn, water wants to flow. Its alignment varies by individual or is irrelevant — it acts on instinct, drive, or whoever commands it. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.
Origin
Flail Snail is reprinted in Monsters of the Multiverse and expanded in Volo's Guide to Monsters. Elementals come from the inner planes — the Plane of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, or the para-elemental borders. Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
