   The name Limpet is used for many kinds of mostly saltwater but also freshwater snails, specifically those that have a simple shell which is more or less broadly conical in shape, and which is either not coiled, or appears not to be coiled, in the adult snail.

   or

   A limpet mine is a type of naval mine attached to a target by magnets; they are so named because of their superficial similarity to the limpet, a type of mollusk.

   •Limpets are mollusks that inhabit wave-pounded rocks. They have characteristic shell shape and produce adhesive that help them to attach to the rocks where none other marine inhabitant can.
