Or Mollusks ? if you prefer!
The words "mollusc" or "mollusk" (are both correct) Derived from the Latin word mollis meaning "soft" Study of molluscs, "malacology", comes from the Greek word for soft, malacos. The term "conchology" is also used for the study of molluscs; however, it is usually applied to those that study the shell only.

The mollusc illustrated above is a terrestrial gastropod from British Columbia.
