I've moved this from the Arthropod category to the Other category for you. Arthropods have jointed limbs and an exoskeleton; think ants, dragonflies, crabs, bees.

This slug with two anterior tentacles looks like Land snail(Helix) ... Land snail comes under the class "Gastropoda". Shell is usually external and spirally coiled. shell is internal in APLYSIA or may be absent in some species like in Doris. this slug does not have shell .... and what i think is this to be Helix.

I wonder what kind of damage he can do to the pumpkin?
