Description[]

A sea whelk is a type of sea snail that is purple in color with light tangerine shells that are the shape of a cone with orange spikes on them. They also have no eyes and a big gaping mouth that can spit out lavender slime bubbles, along with a long, prehensile tongues that are used to catch prey.

Throughout the episode, these snails are depicted as giants, but they can actually fit in the palm of a fish's hand.
