Stinky the Snail

Stinky the Snail can be purchased at Crazy Dave's shop for $3,000 after the player unlocks the Zen Garden mode, and will slowly collect coins in the main Zen Garden area as long as he is awake. He will fall asleep after three minutes, however, and you must click or tap him to wake him up again. He is only available in the Main Zen Garden and cannot be transported between gardens. He also cannot be sold.

Feeding Stinky the Snail Chocolate will make him go faster and keep him awake for about an hour. Chocolate is obtained randomly from zombies after Adventure Mode has been beaten at least once and Stinky has been purchased. The best way to make money using chocolate is to tend to your other gardens first, then feed him chocolate.

He is originally from the Insaniquarium game, on which Zombiquarium is based (made by Plants vs. Zombies creator PopCap Games and Flying Bear Entertainment), in which his role is also collecting coins for the player. As of E3 2011, Stinky the Snail is the "cutest" Xbox 360 game animal.
