Escargoon is a snail & was the assistant of King Dedede for a while, but he retired & set up his own shop in ToonTown. He tends to his 'stache cause he thinks it will attract a shopkeeper image to him (to him, mainly cause a better stache equals more women). He seems to have made amends with Kirby. 

The most frequent customers he has are Raichu, as he purchases Thunder Stones, Wakko, as he shops for a new turtleneck, & Roger Rabbit, as he buys ramen in bulk. Makes snail jokes from time to time.
