“ | “A crab with large pincers found near bodies of water. [...] Sand crabs do a fair amount of damage and require caution if approached.” |
— Encyclopedia |
These small, monstrous crabs are found on many beaches from seas to rivers. Despite being not much smaller than a normal crab, their comparatively massive pincers can pack an incredible punch. Worse, they aggressively chase down seemingly anyone that wanders into their sandy domain.
Sand crabs have an easier time walking sideways—like typical crabs—but have a strangely hard time turning around. It's surprisingly easy to evade them with a little know-how.
Environment: Coastal, Lake
