Spore-encrusted crustacean crawlers of glowing caverns

The Anomura Fungus is a sturdy crustacean found scuttling across glowing mushroom grass in subterranean mushroom biomes. Featuring 230 health and 24 defense, its hardened shell deflects attacks while it charges forward to deal 38 contact damage in Classic, 76 in Expert, and 114 in Master mode.

Penetrating thick fungal carapaces with knockback tools

Because of its considerable defense and knockback resistance, fighting an Anomura Fungus in cramped mushroom tunnels requires careful spacing. Using wide broadswords, maces, or piercing magic holds it at bay while chipping through its shell. Slaying this fungal hermit crab provides glowing mushroom spores and helps clear pathways for safe spelunking.

Trivia

  • Anomura is the scientific classification for decapod crustaceans such as hermit crabs and king crabs.
  • Its shell glows faintly in total darkness, aiding players in spotting it from a distance.
