The Crabs
Undocumented threat
Verification status
This creature is described from community gameplay footage, not an official name or bestiary entry. Its name and exact behaviour may differ in-game.
Overview
The Crabs are giant hermit-crab-like creatures that throw rocks at divers while strafing with their eyes locked on. The depth-sounding radar names them Scuttlergoliaths, and their crackling, scuttling footsteps announce them before you see them. They are defensive rather than aggressive — but players report that nothing in their kit scares one off, and a thrown P.L.O.P does nothing. Some divers owe their lives to a Crownspine arriving and driving the crab away.
