Like other snails, Snail moves slowly, and consequently needs help from others often in order to get around, often by riding on Franklin's shell. He also starts to cry when he can't make it to any place on time, like in "Hurry Up, Franklin". He likes to do things himself, if he can, and Snail can become annoyed if given assistance when he hadn't asked for help. However, Snail usually appreciates Franklin's help and they are very good friends, with a lot in common. Snail considers Franklin to be his best friend, even though Franklin generally considers his best friend to be Bear. Snail is a very good (if rather slow) climber, once scaling a tall cliff to gather some crystals for the group. In one episode it was stated that it took Snail an hour to cross a short bridge across a stream. Since then, he's been training to slither faster. Although Snail is portrayed as a male character, he is voiced by a female, Kristen Bone.
