Snailicorns[1] are large snail-like enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Their name is a portmanteau of "snail" and "unicorn." Every Snailicorn has two small green feet and a horn on its head. Snailicorns appear only in World 5-3 and World 5-B. A Snailicorn walks straightforward on the platform it is on and turns around to avoid edges if necessary, similarly to red Koopa Troopas. If a Snailicorn sees Mario or Luigi, it charges in a straight line with its horn facing him. Jumping on a Snailicorn's shell pushes it backward, possibly into gaps within platforms or bottomless pits, and ground-pounding a Snailicorn pushes it even farther back. Snailcorns can be defeated from either Shell Mario's Shell Dash move, a Mega Mushroom, or a Starman.
The game's internal filename for "Snailicorn" is a romanization of the Japanese name for "Bully," suggesting that it was originally designed as one before being changed to a horned snail.[2] This explains why the two species act in a similar manner. Given that it has one horn and appears only in ice levels, it may have specifically been modeled after the Chill Bully.
