They can be annoying, as they are quite large in both height and girth, and are usually found near cliff edges, and under low ceilings, so there's not much leg room for the plumbers.
They will always charge in a straight line, but change direction at edges, similar to Red [[Koopa Troopa]]s.

A Snailicorn.

Snailicorns are large snail-like creatures that have the characteristics of a unicorn, such as a large horn. They appear only in New Super Mario Bros. and are never seen outside of ice stages. They can be very dangerous, as a mere jump is not enough to defeat them, and fireballs are ineffective. However, as jumping on them sends them back a few feet, this tactic can be used to send them off of a cliff nearby. Also, a full-speed Shell Mario, or a stray shell will knock them out.

They will always charge in a straight line, but change direction at edges, similar to Red Koopa Troopas.

Trivia

  • Snailicorn's attack pattern is reminiscent of the Cleft species in the Paper Mario series.
