Gastropods, more commonly called snails and slugs, defend themselves in several ways. Snails, obviously, retract into their hard shells to protect their soft bodies, while slugs use their distasteful slime to make them unpalatable and hard to pick up. There are also marine gastropods such as abalones, conches perwinkles, etc. that also have hard protective shells.
