Introducing the doomsday creatures in Love and Monsters, today's protagonists are Monster Number 0050 - Giant Snail and Monster Number 0051 - Sandworm Queen. (The doomsday creatures in Love and Monsters, all due to compound pollution and distorted genes)
Giant snail design draft name: Rock Snail, as the name suggests, the giant snail on the back of not only the worm carapace, but also a layer of rock, proper MT player. It also indicates that Rock Snail is a pacifist and will not actively attack humans. (Unless you're scared to death)
The prototype of Rock Snail is speculated to be snails, so the taxonomy is initially determined to be a mollusk phylum gastropoda.
Rock Snail is one of the most adorable creatures of doom in Love and Monsters, although the body is large but the main body is pink and tender, and the bulge on the big head is geometrically symmetrical, looking soft and not vicious. And with a pair of corns, it looks a little innocent. (The designer explains that the Rock Snail was given a pair of corns to make it look more harmless.) Snails were supposed to be stalk-eyed creatures)
In addition, Rock Snail has a rock crust on its back, and there are many green plants on it, which is not so much apocalyptic creature as it is a forest spirit.
But don't look at Rock Snail's cuteness, it is actually eating meat, although it mainly feeds on tree melon fruits, but it will not let go of the meat to the mouth. (However, they are scavengers, so they generally don't hunt, and they can't be caught if they walk so slowly.) ）
But the snail is actually the animal with the most teeth, and its banded teeth are covered with tens of thousands of teeth, so it can crush food without chewing. (Don't look at Rock Snail's harmless look, biting can hurt but hurt)
Compared with the human figure in the film, Rock Snail is about 7 to 8 meters long, between 3.5 and 4.5 meters tall, and its weight on its back is incalculable, but the film says that Rock Snail can squash people in one second.
The rock snail's way of acting in the film is still different from that of ordinary snails, which mainly moves in the mode of lava flow.
Another protagonist, the Sandworm Queen, is designed under the title Queen Sand-Gobbler, and speculates that its prototype is the Mongolian Death Worm (which still exists in legend), but the biological classification of the Sandworm Queen is still counted according to the Sandworm, so it is the Starworm Animal Phylum (or classified as a mysterious creature).

The Mongolian Death Worm is an unknown creature that exists on the Gobi Desert (its existence has not been confirmed so far), but the locals have encountered it many times, so the Gobi Desert has always had its legend.
Sandworm Queen
In this comparison, the two are not very similar.
Compared to the cute Rock Snail, Queen Sand-Gobbler looks like a ferocious predator, with a ring-toothed mouth full of aggression. Although the circle of tentacles on the side of the mouth looks relatively short, it is all made of muscle tissue, and once the prey is caught by the tentacles, there is no way to escape.
Queen Sand-Gobbler's body surface is covered with tiger-striped fish scaly hard insect beetles, while the head is the hardest part of the body, acting as a drill in submersible mode. When the Sandworm Queen enters submerged mode, the tentacles will converge in front of her mouth, and the entire head will look like a bullet.
Queen Sand-Gobbler is extremely capable of digging the ground, moving at the same speed in the land as sharks in the sea, and the two dense rows of insect feet on the abdomen provide it with explosive kinetic energy. In addition, like sharks, it will slightly expose the dorsal fin to the ground during "swimming", so it is also called "worm shark".
Comparing the human figure in the film, it is speculated that Queen Sand-Gobbler is about 7 to 8 meters long, and the weight is unpredictable. The attack method mainly relies on tentacles to fix the prey, and then the ring-toothed giant mouth is swallowed.
