Currently this creature is seemingless useless, so unless you have something planned for it already my suggestion is to make it a tough rare mob that sometimes appears in forest biomes.
What I have in mind is to make it the forest equivalent of the chasm conch, unlike the snail which primarily rewards the player with it's conch shards which can be used as rock, after being slain the player would be able to chop down it's corpse to obtain it's logs/blocks of wood, a variety of seeds as well as some curiosities.
