Xandarian snails

Xandarian snails are a fictional animal featured in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is based on concepts developed by Marvel Comics. They are associated with the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. television series and first appeared in the season five episode, "Fun & Games".

Xandarian snails are presumably mollusk-based life form found on the planet Xandar. They are considered culinary delicacies among some alien cultures.

In the year 2091, the Kree known as Kasius served them as appetizers during a dinner function at the upper levels of the Lighthouse. The Terran known as Leo Fitz, who had just awakened from a seventy-year nap in cryogenic suspension, attended Kasius' dinner undercover as a Marauder. To keep up appearances of being an ill-tempered rogue, he expressed mild contempt for Xandarian snails, citing them as "distasteful".

A chronologically earlier version of Leo Fitz, having awakened from cryogenic suspension much earlier, found himself working on a space ship for a crew that were transporting Xandarian snails. Fitz' revulsion of snails tipped his employers off that he was from Earth.
