Stinky the Snail is the first pet players will ever unlock. He is a green snail with a brown shell that roams around the bottom of the tank. He always moves in the direction of the nearest coin which he will collect.

Behavior[]

Stinky roams around the bottom of the tank, collecting objects of monetary value like coins and diamonds. Even if money has touched the ground, he will aim for any money above him first. He is ideal in a player's Virtual Tank because he is one of only two pets that can collect money in screensaver mode, the other pet being Clyde.

When threatened by an alien attack, Stinky ceases to collect money and hides in his shell, giving Clyde an advantage over Stinky.

In Tank 2, both Stinky and Clyde will collect stars from star guppies until a starcatcher is introduced to the tank. After that, neither pet will collect stars even if all of the starcatchers die out. In Virtual Tank mode, they will continue collecting stars even if starcatchers are added. Neither Stinky nor Clyde will collect bombs, beetles, or snot.

Stinky's mood falters with Nimbus in the tank, and he may even turn red with anger after not collecting any money in a while, although this is purely comical and has no effect on his performance. He will revert to his regular color after collecting money or hiding from an alien attack, which happens semi-often if Nimbus can't carry all of the objects.

In the Virtual Tank, Stinky will fall asleep after three minutes of inactivity if not using screensaver mode.

THE STORY OF
STINKY THE SNAIL
Stinky the Snail
STINKY knew from an early age that he was different from the other
snails. He had the fever. The money fever. He was all about
collecting money. But what does STINKY need with all that money?
STINKY answers, "It impresses the ladies."

Trivia[]

  • Stinky also appeared in Plants vs. Zombies, another game made by PopCap Games. He collects money in the Zen Garden mode, although, there is an aquarium in Plants vs. Zombies, he does not appear in it.
  • Stinky is one of two pets whose description as "male" is inaccurate to the pet's species, the other being Gumbo. In Stinky's case, snails are hermaphrodites, being both male and female.
  • Stinky the Snail is on the loading bar when you start up the game.
