Snail Shaman

Found inside the Ancestral Mound in Forgotten Crossroads.

Upon first encounter, the Shaman gifts the Vengeful Spirit spell to the Knight. Accepting it results in the Knight waking up locked up in a small dungeon, tasked with killing an Elder Baldur within the Ancestral Mound.

The bodies of other snail shamans can be found throughout Hallownest. There is a crystallised one in Crystalised Mound, one with overgrown fungus in Overgrown Mound and one in Soul Sanctum that looked like it has been experimented on, as well as a Snail sarcophagus where Soul Eater can be found.

Acquiring spells from these snails will cause the Snail Shaman to comment on how these spells remind him of his various relatives. When Descending Dark has been obtained, the Snail Shaman mentions being bound to the Ancestral Mound and therefore unable to visit his family.

After the Knight has been to The Abyss and acquired Abyss Shriek, the Snail Shaman will explain that the snails are not able to create spells like that. He also states that the snails have not ever visited the Abyss.
