[R'lyetha Species] Kokosnuss of the Helix circle

I have not uploaded here in so long, Been more active over on DA for the past few years, but im here mostly to have an Archive of my Snail race, the R'lyethas. So for quick context, I realized that a lot of snail designs often fall into categories where they do not look like Snails that much, whether the eyes are on the wrong place, the Mantle is non existent, etc. Non of these designs are bad, and i will not argue that they are. But, I love snails, and i love them for how silly they look and how funny they can be. So i wanted to capture the most amount of Snail possible in the designs.
This one is my latest piece, if you go through my old Designs you will come across my old DnD character N'uss. Well, this is her now. Full name Kokosnuss (means coconut in German) or Nuss for short. As you can see the design leans heavily into a more animalistic and less humanoid species than previously, other designs of mine were very human and i always found them to be lacking for what i envisioned this species to be. So i got rid of most of the Human traits and left the most ''reptilian'' aspects of the original references i utilized this whole time (wonder if you'd be able to guess what i used for reference).
In short, Nuss is an R'lyetha, while she refers to herself as a she/her, in truth R'lyethas follow snail anatomy quite on point, meaning all R'lyethas are hermaphrodites and their pronouns are merely a suggestion as their language doesn't differentiate gender as ours do, using words as Tal (you), Koa (they), Zotl (we/us), Tali (you plural) and Koal (they plural).
While she did not create the Helix circle, Nuss has grown to be a very influential character across many R'lyetha clusters and clans that adopted the more "Druidic" style of life the circle offered. Her disposition is generally Friendly and kind, despite her less than stable mind. She transforms the many curses that fester within her shell into a soothing healing mist seeking to bring forth a kinder world for the afflicted and the forlorn. Yet, the world can be unkind to her and her people, and thus... Those that oppose her and dreams, must all, be, Boiled away.
Fun fact: the concept of gender is quite confusing to R'lyethas!
