Glowing Snail

The Glowing Snail is a very rare critter that only spawns on Mushroom biomes. It can be caught using the Bug Net to be carried around in the inventory and released later, or crafted into a Glowing Snail Cage to be placed as an animated furniture item, and it also gives off a small amount of blue light. It cannot be released once crafted. Its normal counterpart is the Snail.

Along with its very rare chance to spawn, it often spawns together with or near enemies, causing it to be killed rather easily by them or by accident by the player. Due to this it is one of the hardest critters to find and catch.

A Glowing Snail Cage occupies a 3x2 space. The Glowing Snail inside may follow the following patterns randomly:
 * Hide inside its shell
 * Try to climb up to the ceiling of the cage, but fail and fall down again
 * Make a whole loop around its cage succesfully
