As you're prowling around the exterior of Stella's compound, you hear a strange clinking noise coming from behind a rock. When you investigate, you find a large weird-looking snail munching on some weeds. The weird thing about it is that its shell appears to be made of shiny interlocking rings.

You figure taming it is probably worth a shot. I mean, it's a slow-moving plant-eating thing with a shell, so it's ''basically'' a turtle, right? Just a particularly slimy one.

{{button|Try to tame it}}
You carefully approach the snail and poke it. It waves its antennae at you, but otherwise doesn't take much notice, so you poke it a few more times. Eventually it seems to get annoyed (you guess... I mean, it's kind of hard to judge the emotions of a snail) and wanders off, leaving behind a few shed scales.

**:You reach out to the snail, trying your best to exude vibrations of peace and love although frankly you have no idea at all how to relate to a snail. It crawls onto your hand, and oh my god that feels gross. You quickly shake it off and spend a few minutes flailing around in disgust. {{HP|type=lose|amount=19-20}}
