Grimm Registry Form
Grimm Classification: Snail

Title: Amun

Threat Ranking: C

Appearance: Amuns resemble extremely large snails, usually about three feet long. Their actual bodies are entirely black except for some hints of white. Their shell resembles a snail shell, but is comprised of the same bone plating as other Grimm. These shells are white and have intricate red markings and textures on them. Their eyes glow red/orange.

Ability:
 * Strengths:
 * Shell/Durability: Amun shells are extremely thick and durable, and can be near impossible to breach or break without extremely heavy-duty weaponry. Though it is made of the same material as other Grimm plating, it is its extreme thickness makes it so tough. Amuns can also retreat into their shells, making them impossible to damage until they come back out.
 * Speed: Despite resembling slow snails, Amuns are extremely fast. They use their slimy, lubricated bodies to glide and slide effortlessly over the ground, and are seemingly unfazed by the terrain or environment when it comes to this speed. This allows them to use ramming as their primary means of offense.
 * Acidity: The slime that covers Amuns' bodies is highly acidic to everything but Grimm. The environment and anyone who comes into direct physical contact with an Amun's body will experience extremely painful acidic burning that can cause up to third degree chemical burns if not treated or washed off immediately. Amuns have also been known to shake, flinging this acidic liquid in all directions around them.
 * Weaknesses:
 * Lack of offensive tools: Amuns primarily attack by striking with their shells or eye stocks, usually with ramming speeds, or by attacking with acid. However, they do not possess many other offensive tools or means, allowing anyone who can avoid their blinding speeds to stay safe.
 * Range: Amuns do not possess any kind of ranged attack (other than the acid spray, which does not cover a long distance). Once adapted to its speed, one can use ranged weapons or melee weapons with long reaches to strike the Amun's vulnerable body before it enters its shell.

Additional Notes:
 * Amun acid does not affect other Grimm.
