Crabs are large, red crustacean-esque creatures that are usually hostile. They populate the Howler Maze, and can also be found in The Pits East and The Unwanted Zone. Adult crabs can be seen patrolling the island and locations of the Howler Maze.
Crabs can also be found in Crab Nests which can contain anywhere between 5 to 30 baby crabs. Crabs can be nesting inside buildings which are intact in the Howler Maze, making exploring those buildings dangerous. Up to 7 Crab Eggs can be found sitting on the ground in the center of a Crab Nest.
There are many unique powerful crabs such as the Megacrab, found in the Lost Town.
Crabs can be purchased from Crab Raiders in Crab Town and Crab Village. They are sold at Crab Shops. An adult crab costs approximately 14,000 Cats.

Damage Calculations[]
These values are for when striking a target with 0% damage resistance. Animals can have one of three qualities for their "weapon". (Moving their position in a squad, saving and then reloading can change to another quality of the weapon) The 23 in the cut calculation is from the minimum cut damage (13) combined with 10 piercing damage which Crabs have.
Variant 1
Cut = 23 + 0.8774025 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0039) + Strength (0.0117)
Variant 2
Cut = 23 + 0.89232 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0052) + Strength (0.0156)
Variant 3
Cut = 23 + 0.9072375 (Martial Arts + Dex)
Blunt = Martial Arts (0.0065) + Strength (0.0195)
Play Style[]
Crabs can be bought from the Crab Town. Crabs have the slowest movement speed of any animal purchasable in game. They make up for this by having quick and fast high damage attacks which can hit 2 enemies at a time. This makes crabs useful at picking off units separated from their squad. As with all animals the older they get, the further their attacks can reach.
Spawns[]
Regions[]
The Pits and The Pits East are prime areas to find Crabs as well as Crab Raiders. They also spawn in the Howler Maze and the Unwanted Zone.
Spawn Groups[]
Other Locations[]
Crabs are also found on Fishman Island. Gurglers will consistently outnumber crabs on the island until the death of King Gurgler, at which point Gurglers and their nests will stop spawning. Only crab patrols will spawn afterwards.
