Coastal crustacean scavengers of the ocean
Crabs are sturdy marine crustaceans that scuttle along the sandy beaches and submerged sea beds of the Ocean biomes on either side of the world. Marching steadily across sand dunes with 40 health and 10 defense, they are slow and predictable.
Harvesting seafood snacks and wiring statue spawners
A pinch from a Crab deals 20 contact damage in Classic and 40 in Expert, easily managed with basic weapons. Defeating them yields the Shrimp Po' Boy food item at a 2% rate. Furthermore, Crab Statues can be connected to wires and timers to create predictable engine circuits for automated wiring mechanisms.
Trivia
- Crabs are frequently used in wire engine loops due to their predictable walking speed and ground behavior.
- They can walk underwater along the seabed without needing to surface for air.
