10 Iconic Video Game Characters Created By Fans
6. Bob The Snail - Maplestory
You can't be a Maplestory fan without knowing the great tale of Bob the Snail.
While battling through the high-level dungeon Drake's Meal Table, players began to discover the presence of a small, green level 1 snail which had absolutely no business being there.
Fans couldn't figure out whether this was a bug or not, though promptly took to calling the cute little creature Bob, and some time later in an update, developers Wizet decided to incorporate Bob the Snail into the game.
The update added the questline "Jay's Curiosity," where players needed to defeat a snail called Bob and collect his snail shell.
Rather than a simple copy-paste of the previous snail, though, Bob was able to move faster, jump, and summon an additional 11 snails upon dying.
