A Crab is a tiny to medium-sized crustacean creature commonly found near coastal areas or bodies of water. It has a hard exoskeleton that provides protection, and its body is segmented into various sections. The crab’s most notable feature is its large pincers, which it uses for defense and to catch prey.

Crabs are typically depicted as hostile creatures, ready to snap their pincers at anyone who comes too close. They are primarily scavengers, feeding on carrion and small creatures they can catch with their claws. However, some species of magical crabs may have unique abilities or characteristics, such as the ability to breathe underwater or emit poisonous fumes.

While crabs are not particularly powerful or intelligent creatures, they can still pose a threat in large numbers or if encountered in unfavorable terrain. They are known for their resilience and adaptability, being able to survive in various environments and endure harsh conditions.

Crabs are often used as low-level enemies or obstacles in coastal or underwater adventures, providing a sense of danger and adding flavor to the world. They can also serve as a source of food or crafting materials for resourceful adventurers.
