Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A short humanoid snail-like creature with a natural helmet-like shell and a necklace of small masks or insectoid skulls. He carries a staff adorned with a larger skull. His skin is pitch black and his facial features are difficult to discern, aside from a pair of stark white eyes.

Special abilities

The Snail Shaman is one of the few surviving users of Hallownestian soul magic. He is known for creating the Vengeful Spirit spell, conjuring a spirit that will fly forward and burn foes in its path.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

The Snail Shaman is the last known member of the snail shaman tribe, a reclusive and mysterious group of snail-like magic-users from the dream of Hallownest. The Snail Shaman was the caretaker of the Ancestral Mound in Hallownest up until the evacuation to Renedge. While few of the evacuees have died since, the Shaman has set up a new mound in New Hallownest to receive the masks and mementos of any who choose to be placed there.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The Snail Shaman was the one to introduce Knight to Hallownestian soul magic, clearing the path to the destruction of the Radiance and the end of Hallownest's stasis.

Intellectual Characteristics

The Snail Shaman is a devious sort, if a fairly benevolent one. He is not above manipulating strangers (or even allies) into achieving his ends, and has no qualms about concealing information to do so. That said, he does usually provide rewards for such service, if only to ensure the job can be done and there aren't too many hard feelings.   Once he does consider someone trustworthy, though, he'll freely share his knowledge with them, if not necessarily the details of his magic.

Personality Characteristics

Personality Quirks

The Snail Shaman laughs frequently, a sound that is both genuinely amused and smug.  
Why do you hesitate? You'll get nothing more from me, I'm afraid. Though I do admire your persistence! Ohohohoho!
