![]() Oddly enough and very unlike snails of modern-day earth, the Achatina of the Arks can occasionally be found submerged in water without drowning. The Achatina is noticeably absent from the Genesis: Part 1 simulation. Scorched Earth caves have a high level variant of the Achatina. This massive snail can be commonly found in moist, damp biomes such as redwood and conifer forests, swamps, the Sanctuary city on Extinction and the Blue Zone on Aberration. Using stone arrows and firing at the bottom of the shell will do damage, though you may need a lot of arrows depending on your weapon. Inside this shell, it cannot be hurt unless a survivor tirelessly tries to break through with a weapon or tame. Its behavior of hiding in its shell is also shared by the Doedicurus. Achatina is one of the few truly docile creatures on The Island and other maps as it will flee, though albeit at a very slow pace, until it is hurt so much that it will hide in its shell. The Achatina spends its days slowly moving on its large muscular foot, leaving a slime trail and it pays little attention to everything around it as it grazes on small plants and mosses. Legend has it that Achatina can be tamed with a special "cake" made from harvested crops & resources. Tamed Achatina naturally accumulates this slime over time, which can then be collected at the tribe's convenience. There is a very disgusting, but useful fact about Achatina that causes tribes to seek to tame them: its secretions are chemically similar to the "Cementing Paste" and "Organic Polymer" used by many tribes for building materials. Achatina leaves trails of this slime, but the trails are so thin that they crumble to dust quickly. Instead, it secretes a thick, sticky substance. ![]() Unlike nearly every other creature on the Island, Achatina does not defecate normally. It might be the simplest creature on the Island to hunt, and while it only provides a small amount of meat and chitin, an easy meal is always of value on the Island. Found mostly in marshes and jungles, Achatina limusegnis is a very slow, very non-threatening land mollusk. ![]()
