The Grumpy Snail is the main character of the eponymous piece of music written for the holophonor. Within the holographic image projected during the piece, the snail appears to be crawling on a branch towards the audience. What, if anything else, the snail does past the beginning of the piece is unknown.
The snail's temperament seems to depend on the skill of the player. Fry's initial lack of skill would turn the snail into a monster that terrified his audience. After Fry obtained the Robot Devil's hands, the snail become more distinguished looking as the performances improved, becoming a staple of Fry's music and even having a speaking role in an advertisement for "Fry's Greatest Holophonor Hits".
