Revision 5

Crabs are level 1 to 3 hostile wildlife in Windrose, found on Coastal Jungle beaches and inside coastal caves. They are weak individually but often spawn in clusters, making them a moderate threat to underequipped early-game players. Crabs drop Crab Meat (a cooking ingredient for the Crab Soup and Seafood Skewer recipes) and Crab Shell (a crafting material).

Where to Find Crabs

• Coastal Jungle beaches (most common; clusters of 2 to 4 crabs)

• Coastal caves and copper mines (encounter while gathering resources)

• Tidal pools and rocky shorelines on most Coastal Jungle islands

Hunting Strategy

• Use AoE attacks (greatsword sweeps, halberd swings) to clear clusters efficiently

• If overwhelmed, retreat to high ground; crabs cannot follow onto elevated terrain

• Crabs respawn relatively quickly compared to Boars; coastal areas refill within an in-game day or two

• Stockpile Crab Meat for the Crab Soup recipe; it is a useful early-game food buff source
