The '''Thorny snail''' is a level 13 [[Summoning]] [[Summoning familiars|familiar]]. It is summoned using a Thorny snail pouch. It can be used for [[Ranged]] experience. The thorny snail is a level 26 familiar and can hit up to 40. Additionally, its Slime Spray scroll can deal a max of 80 damage, which is a big jump from the lower levelled familiars. Finally, the Thorny snail is immune to all types of poison.
<br />

The snail can also serve as a [[Beast of Burden]], however it is the lowest levelled one apart from the class one [[Clay being]], the [[Cub worldbearer]] and the [[Little worldbearer]]. The Thorny snail can only carry 3 items for a player. As a result, it is seldom used, even by low levelled players.

One advantage of training with Thorny snails or creating the pouches is that once the quest [[Nature Spirit]] is completed, all ingredients needed are all in the same area, providing you bring enough gold charms. Spirit shards and pouches may be bought from the [[Nature Grotto]]'s [[wishing well]], thin snail may be obtained from killing [[Myre blamish snail]] and [[Ochre blamish snail]] south of the Grotto.

'''Thorny snail pouch''' is made by using a [[Pouch (Summoning)|Summoning pouch]] on a [[Summoning obelisk]] with 9 spirit shards, a gold charm and a [[thin snail]] in the [[inventory]]. Making the pouch earns 12.6 [[experience]] points. Using the pouch to summon a Thorny snail gains 0.2 experience points, and costs 2 Summoning points. If players exchange their Thorny Snail pouches at Bogrog, they will receive 7 shards per pouch.

==Trivia==
*A [[Wikipedia:Hermit crab|hermit crab]] is a crab which lives in the cast-off shells of snails or other shellfish. The examine info therefore implies that the thorny snail is actually a slug residing in a snail's shell. This may also be a refence to the summoning ingredient being a shell-less snail body, and when it is summoned it has a new shell.
*Bot killers sometimes use the thorny snail to get [[green dragon]] [[Macro|botters]] [[Skull (status)|skulled]], as their colour is similar to the rift entrance of the [[Chaos Tunnels]], and the botter might attack it.
*If you are wearing a [[Snelm]] of any kind, you can have an amusing conversation with your Thorny Snail, saying that you are wearing the spine of his dead relatives as a hat.
