You can find Monksnail in the sea in the Frost Islands. You need to make sure that you go there in the nighttime, as Monksnail stays in the sea during the day. After reaching Frost Island, try to look for a giant jellyfish that will be visible easier than the Monksnail.

The jellyfish will have yellow-colored eyes. You will be able to spot it from higher ground.
