Ironnails are snail-like enemies that mainly appear in Forsaken Lands. Related to Numbnails, they have two eyes instead of one, and a much harder shell, with a creamy and grey color. Their main attacks also include shooting sleep-inducing beams at one of the party members, but they'll fire two lasers instead of one, both are slow and fairly easy to block. They've got a new attack however, that is charging up and dashes at one party member dealing high damage.
Their initial defense and lack of weaknesses means that Vi and Leif cannot damage them without any boosts if they're not in the front, so Break is recommended to deal with such defense. Like Numbnails, they tend to hide inside their shells when receiving a successful non-flipping attack, and Kabbu can draw them out with his horn. Since their charging attack only hits one random target, it's usually better off using Cleanse on them (or Bubble Shield Lite, though this is unreliable unless you shield the party member in the front or a taunted Kabbu since they're more likely to be hit) than using a full Bubble Shield when they charge up. They will still dash at their target, but this will now deal less damage.

Bestiary | Only the toughest, fastest, and strongest of snails could manage to survive in the Forsaken Lands. Enter the Ironnail, capable of firing sedating beams and moving at high speeds. They've developed a hatred of non-foggy areas, sparing other parts of Bugaria from their wrath. |
Vi | "O-Oi! Aren't snails slow and stuff? The Forsaken Lands really are super dangerous...We can still just fight them like they're Numbnails, though. Right, Kabbu? |
Kabbu | "What speed...! We cannot underestimate any creature that can survive in such a land. Beware its sedatives. I shall drag it out of its shell when it retreats!" |
Leif | "Tch. We got caught off guard by its movements. It mustn't happen again. We almost got put to sleep...! Kabbu, drag it out of its shell. Then, we shall freeze it in its tracks!" |
