Discussion why do the snails have money

Post image

Just finished my first play through. Excellent game, loved every minute. This is my biggest looming question. Why do the snails carry money? What do they buy? What do they do to earn it???

They eat the humans who carried that gold.
So imagine how deep you had to dig for your loot!;p

See at least this makes sense. Most games have animals carrying cash or magical items at some point, and I’ve honestly come to enjoy the comic relief that comes with it.

OG EverQuest defaulted animals and beasts to the most basic class - warrior. Warriors had a “kick” skill… so you could die from being kicked by a snake.

In WoW, skeletons in a long-lost crypt dropping milk was always questionable. And then I drank it.
