Golden Imperial Snail

The Golden Imperial Snail, also referred to as Chrysokratos Nebularii, is a species of land snail within the family Sanctulapsus, which also includes the Infernal Asahiri Snail, the Ranka Spotted Snail, the Palorot Wood Snail and the Palorot Swamp Snail. 
Golden Imperial Snails range from 12 cm to 44 cm long and from 8cm to 34 cm tall. They can weigh from 2-6 grams. There is little to no sexual dimorphism, with females and males being on average around the same size and weight. They have a relatively strong yellow shell and a purple-ish skin.
An adult male has a light purple skin whereas an adult female has a slightly darker skin, which is the main factor in identifying them. The juveniles, however, are different from both and distinction between the two sexes becomes much harder. Juveniles have pink skin however females have a slightly smaller shell than males when juveniles.
John D. Lünefeller found that C. Nebularii sister to Xulonkratos Gastrapoda were basal to the Sanctalapsus clade. The Golden Imperial Snail breeds within the swamps of Paloro and lives in both the swamps and plains of the country. The Golden Imperial Snail's conservation status is completely fine however multiple Palorot groups have chosen to protect it, especially the GSPA which has as one of it's main goals to preserve the snail within it's Snail Park. Multiple laws have been proposed to ban poaching of the animal.
== Diet ==
Its diet mainly consists of salads, grasses, tadpoles and sometimes fresh apples. When starving, Golden Imperial Snails have been observed to eat anything edible within their reach, such as wood. The large drop in frog numbers has resulted in the snails being more inclined to eat salads and grasses instead of tadpoles, which used to consist of the majority of their diet.
