Betelgeuse 5; The Infamous Glowing Mega-Snails of Isilmere Betelgeuse 5

Native to the Isilmere tropical region of Betelgeuse 5 , one will immediately notice that these snails are in fact glowing, and rather large as most species of snails go. While they reside in the tropical region of the planet , the snails have been known to venture into populated areas in search of sugars. It is believed that the sugars help them to produce the glowing trail of slime they leave in their wake. This snail trail is toxic to most species, which has prompted a temporary ban on sugar in the Metro area of Betelgeuse 5. Indigenous and native bipeds have found a way to distill the chemicals found in the trail into a psychedelic drug, prompting more concern from local authorities. A wide range of snail derived products can be found on the black market, from dried snail powders that are ingested or inhaled, to a bright green beer fermented by locals, giving the Mega-Snails their “infamous” status.

While the chemicals they produce in their raw form are dangerous to handle, the snails are themselves mostly harmless. Docile and slow moving, the snails are of very little threat unless you are yourself docile and slow moving, and decide to lay in their path.
