A Giant Crab hides beneath sand, broken pilings, and shallow water with only its eyes exposed. Its shell is mottled like wet stone, and one claw is often much larger than the other. It attacks anything entering its feeding hollow, drags food beneath the tide line, and retreats when the shell cracks or the water becomes too deep for firm footing.
Special Attack
Crushing Claw: bludgeoning, melee 10 ft, +4 to hit, 2d6+2. A Medium or smaller target makes a Tough save or is held in the claw.
Special Defense
Soft Joints: attacks made after the crab misses with Crushing Claw ignore its DR until the start of its next turn. It cannot hold more than one creature at a time.
