The Slowsassin
The Slowsassin, also known as "The Silent Shell," is one of the most legendary competitors in the history of Ultimate Aggro Gastropod Battle Royale. Known for combining methodical patience with devastating precision, this formidable Garden Snail warrior held the championship title for five consecutive seasons before a shocking defeat to Blazing Bart in 3162.

Precision shell-edge attacks
