通称:玛瑙螺
物种:玛瑙螺属
时代:全新世
食性:草食
性情:被动
野生
玛瑙螺大多数生活在沼泽和雨林中,它一种十分缓慢,完全没威胁的陆生软体动物。它也许是岛上最容易狩猎的生物,虽然它只能提供一点点肉和甲壳,但在岛上容易获取的肉总归是好的。 与几乎所有其他岛上生物不同,玛瑙螺一般不会排泄。但它会分泌粘稠的物质。玛瑙螺会用这种物质留下痕迹,但是这种痕迹由于太浅了会很快被灰尘掩盖。
家养
关于玛瑙螺,有一个非常恶心但是很有用的事实导致部落会去驯养它们:这种蜗牛的分泌物在化学成分上很像许多部落建造时要用到的“水泥”和“有机聚合物”。被驯服的玛瑙螺会不断生成这种粘液以便部落收集。 传说玛瑙螺可以通过一种由收获的农作物和其他资源做成的“蛋糕”驯服。
Common name: Achatina
Species: Achatina limusegnis
Time: Holocene
Diet: Herbivore
Temperament: Passive
Wild
Found mostly in marshes and jungles, Achatina limusegnis is a very slow, very non-threatening land mollusk. 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. Unlike nearly every other creature on the Island, Achatina does not defecate normally. Instead, it secretes a thick, sticky substance. Achatina leaves trails of this slime, but the trails are so thin that they crumble to dust quickly.
Domesticated
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. Tamed Achatina naturally accumulates this slime over time, which can then be collected at the tribe's convenience. Legend has it that Achatina can be tamed with a special "cake" made from harvested crops & resources.
