Where Every Scroll is a New Adventure
There do in fact need to be colony building insects that can specifically cause severe pain to creatures of any size because that is how the presence of wasps and their baby siblings, bees and ants, shield swathes of plant life from the destructive activity of macrofauna like us and other mammals. There's even trees that domesticate stinging ants. Forests are healthier wherever there are hornet nests. All of these insects are pollinators too as a bonus, yes also the ants, a pollinator doesn't have to fly :)

The Snailiens engage in a symbiotic relationship known as mutualism with various organisms. Among these symbionts are species like Feather-Grass Coral, Proboscis Barnacles, and Diamond Barnacles, which I'll elaborate on in a future post. This relationship is advantageous for the Snailiens as the symbiotic organisms consume parasites and dead skin, ensuring the Snailiens' cleanliness and health. In return, the symbionts receive shelter and food, creating a mutually beneficial arrangement :)
