A coral crab

Coral Crabs are large sandcrabs found along Summerset as well as High Isle and Amenos' coastlines.

The crabs appear in two varieties: a purple variant with coral growing upon its back, which attack from range, and a blue variant without a coral growth, which fight in melee range. Both types possess a small and a large claw.

Skills and Abilities

These large crustaceans have adapted to the crystal-clear and coral-filled shores of Summerset Isles: They cover themselves in coral, anemones, and other sea creatures that can be coaxed into taking root on their shells. Their massive claws aren't only for show; they can also crush thick carapaces and pry open the most obstinate bivalves. — Summerset Prima Guide description
