Jeyaneg

The Jeyang is a species of Invertebrate, or more specifically a terrestrial gastropod mollusk on Eard. Though rather unintelligent and too large to place on the shoulder, the Jeyang can make a wonderful addition for pet collectors. They can make a great companion to Arkians lonely or loony enough to sympathize with a snail, as their stupidity, slimy nature, and strange but goofy face can come off as almost cute.
== Behavior ==
The Jeyang spends its days slowly moving on its large muscular foot, leaving a slime trail; and it pays little attention to everything around it as it grazes on small plants and mosses. Jeyang is one of the few truly docile creatures on Eard as it will flee, though albeit at a very slow pace, until it is hurt so much that it will hide in its shell. Inside this shell, it cannot be hurt unless a person tirelessly tries to break through with a weapon or tame. This massive snail can be commonly found in moist, damp biomes such as redwood and conifer forests, swamps. 
=== Encountering ===
This section describes how to react to an encounter with the Jeyang.
==== General ====
If engaged and damaged, the Jeyang will retreat into its shell and will neither flee nor fight back. Damage dealt to the Jeyang will be heavily reduced for as long as it is inside of its shell. Jeyang do however drop a considerable amount of Chitin when harvested, so they are a worthy kill for those looking to collect it, at the expense of the time and effort needed to kill one.
=== Strategy ===
Although the Jeyang itself is not dangerous, its surroundings are usually filled with dangerous predators. Clear the area of hostile creatures before attempting to tame Jeyang, or pick them up with a flying mount.
=== Weaponry ===
Any weapon or creature will be able to sufficiently kill an Jeyang given a little time, though one should shoot the Jeyang with tranquilizer darts to knock it out for taming, as there is little benefit from exterminating them.
=== Weaknesses ===
Jeyang - wild and domesticated - do not and cannot fight back when attacked.
== Appearance ==
Jeyang has all of the features typical of any other genus of snail with the notable exception of its remarkable size, being barely small enough to be picked up and held. The shells are very ornate with streaks of bright colour and sharp ridges that provide protection from predators and house the majority of its body and organs; the rest of its soft body is also typically characterized by vibrant or earthy coloration. The head region sports 4 retractable tentacles that serve as tactile and olfactory organs, meaning to feel and smell. The top pair house the eyes, whilst the bottom pair are more adapted for sensing its environment. Its chubby and cute mouth has a specialized rasping tongue-like organ called the radula to feed.
== Notes ==
A Jeyang is the largest creature on Eard that can be picked up by an average arkian.
