Snail Pen was added in Beta 50.0. Previous Versions can be found here.
Snail Pen is the first Rare Snail added to the game (and 2nd Rare Snail-based monster, after Snailmobile). Like Business Snail, it has stats bigger than 1/1/1 and has a passive effect instead of a Magic.
In Snail Pen's case, it will trigger the Magic effect of any Snail you summon, effectively doubling it. This works best on Red Snail and Yellow Snail, as Blue Snail can only give an effect once, while Burning Snail can target this, wasting the effect.
Snail Bucket works very well alongside this, as Snail Pen will trigger from the Snails summoned by it, and since Beta 55.1, the 2 best possible Snails are chosen, making a single Snail Bucket cause 3 Magic effects.
Trivia[]
- Despite it only able to trigger the Magic of Snails with a base cost of 0-2G, all Snails are already in this range.
- This limitation was done in Beta 54.1 to (most likely) prevent interaction with monsters obtained from Evil Blueprints.
- Beta 56.0 reworked Evil Blueprints, making this no longer possible.
