There's a documentary that posits the monks who were tasked with writting all the shit down had personal battles with snails who'd eat the manuscripts. I guess the books/pages were shellacked with stuff that would attract them. The monks then turned it into a meme and drew them in the margins and depicting fights like they were dragons.
