Crayfish

Overview

The Crayfish is an Aquatic Animal found in the freshwater bodies of Pywel in Crimson Desert. It is cataloged under the Aquatic Creatures section of the Knowledge Codex.

Appearance

The Crayfish is a creature that acts like a scavenger, keeping the water floor clean. It inhabits only clean waters, feeding on submerged animal remains and organic debris. Freshwater specimens are small with minimal edible parts, but they play an important role in maintaining healthy waterways.

Location and Habitat

Crayfish live exclusively in clean freshwater environments such as rivers and streams. Their presence is an indicator of good water quality. Once registered in the Knowledge Codex, their habitat appears on your world map.

How to Gather

Crayfish are easily caught by hand in shallow freshwater. Wade into rivers or streams and use the pickup interaction to collect them. They may also turn up while fishing in freshwater zones. Refer to the Complete Fish List for other species sharing these habitats.

Uses

Crayfish can be used as a Cooking ingredient, though their small size limits the amount of edible material. They are best combined with other ingredients when preparing meals at a campfire or kitchen station.
