'''Professor Snail''' lives on [[Ginger Island]] and runs the [[Island Field Office]]. Initially he is trapped inside a mushroom cave by a large boulder. The cave is on the north side of the fossil quarry. It is only accessible after paying 10 [[Golden Walnut]]s to the parrots. The player must free him by blowing up the boulder with a [[Crafting#Bombs|bomb]] ([[Explosive Ammo]] does not work).

After freeing him, he explains that he has been conducting a survey of the island's flora and fauna for a year. He returns to his tent on [[Ginger Island#Island North|Ginger Island]], where he accepts donations in exchange for [[Golden Walnut]]s.

The cave where he was trapped becomes a mushroom cave, where mushrooms can be foraged by the player.
