Snails

Snails is a male school-age unicorn pony who resides in Ponyvilleand is often seen with his friend Snips. His human counterpart, along with Snips, is a secondary antagonist in My Little Pony Equestria Girls. He is called Snailsquirm in some merchandise.

Development and design Edit
Snails is a golden colored colt with an aquamarine mane and tail and light yellow freckles, resembling Generation 1 baby pony Squirmy. He is notably lankier and thinner than other ponies, much like Celestia or Luna, Fancy Pants' companion Fleur Dis Lee or Mrs. Cake's husband, Mr. Carrot Cake. His irises are usually not visible, similarly to those of Snips, but they are visible in the IDW comics' Friendship is Magic Issue #30 story, being brown.

He has a goofy manner of speech which, in contrast to Snips' higher voice, is quite low and slow. This tone and his use of the word "eh" is reminiscent of a stereotypical Canadian accent.

Both Snails, as well as partner-in-crime Snips, are named after the traditional nursery rhyme What Are Little Boys Made Of?. A version of the verse goes:
 * What are little boys made of?
 * What are little boys made of?
 * Snips and Snails and Puppy Dogs' tails
 * That's what little boys are made of.
