I was watching some election coverage when I thought of an idea: "What about a weapon that slings mud at enemies?" That, combined with influences from a fun game I played as a kid, as well as my long-suffering friend @Pinelord and his swamp biome suggestion, has morphed into this idea.
Snairoller (sprite by Pinelord)
'Snail is approaching at an alarming rate.'
-60 HP
-20 damage (rolled)
-10 damage (unrolled)
-5 defense (unrolled)
-25 defense (rolled)
-Spawns underground uncommonly
-Makes itself into a snail unicycle and rolls rapidly at the player; cannot attack if not on level ground with player
-Cannot cling to ceilings nor background walls
-90
(100%)
-1-4 Gel (100%)

Snot Put (2.5%)
Giant Snail (sprite courtesy of Pinelord)
'It doesn't look friendly.'
-100 HP
-25 damage
-15 defense
-Spawns underground rarely
-Moves at the player, inflicts Slow Debuff (20%)
-Cannot cling to ceilings nor background walls

Colossal Snail (sprite, again, courtesy of Pinelord)
'Borders on Lovecraftian, as far as snails go.'
-500 HP

Snotput
'Oh, that's disgusting.'
-17 ranged damage
-31 (slow) speed
-1 (weak) knockback
-Inflicts Slow debuff

-Shoots in a steep arc
Shotgun Slug (concept thanks to @crackshotCerberus and his zany ideas)
-36 ranged damage

Pinelord those are some amazing sprites. This seems like a cool idea.

How did I miss this joke.
The colossal snail should have an additional drop. A colossal snail mount. Imagine the look on your enemies faces as their doom very slowly approaches. Plus maybe it could leave a trail of slime that slows and can even stop enemies in their tracks. Maybe even slime ball projectiles to make this ridiculous mount viable.

I like it now if you want to make a snail scarier?
The Cone Snail. Lightning speed Harpoons of venomus doom is how snails deal death
Might spice up the snails to be a bit more fearsome eh?

Staring at the colossal snail sprite made me think of the FTL slug race. Because of that I thought of the worst pun weapon I have ever come up with. Shotgun slug. It fires a group of bullets held together by slime that pierce one enemy. After which it splits into a shotgun-like spray of projectiles.
Anyway that tangent over...

Ooh I remember seeing those. Not in person mind you. Those are scary, if I recall correctly the venom is potent enough to kill an adult human in mere seconds.I like it now if you want to make a snail scarier?

Yeah They were one of my major ideas for an enemy in the ocean overhaul thread from back in 1.2 with a weapon drop associated with them. The reason I brought them up was because of the hardmode snail resembling them to an extent and I like the idea of a slow yet tough enemy with a lightning fast but short ranged projectile attack.
The cone snail literally are the most terrifying snails on earth hence why it is advised to not pick up cone shaped shells on a beach (yet people still try to do so and get themselves killed...)
Overall I approve the snail idea why will be able to crawl along walls(blocks not "back walls") and ceilings right?

Whoo, revived a little.
-Followed @crackshotCerberus and added the Shotgun Slug
-Want to add the proposal of a snail mount (Cerberus again, the crazy bastard) but am reluctant to sprite it right now so I'll wait
-Tweaked Snot Put's stats a tiny bit
-Clarified for @Dragrath that the snails can't crawl on anything but ground blocks
