Tips & Strategies from the iOS & Android apps
Tranq Arrows/Darts DO NOT WORK!!! To knock this out you need to use a catapult and shoot in only on it's back. If you shoot it on it's legs it will kill it.

Cannon balls discrease taming effeciency significantly! So for high tame level, always use boulders. Please let other people know! :)
Pretty easy to tame. Trap it in a circular form of stone Dino gates, place catapult low if catapult is high the crab will die. Then shoot it with a catapult. Cannons insta kill the crab, do not use cannons
ALPHA Karkinos can GRAB and DISMOUNT you off of a ROCK DRAKE.
We killed the parent and imprinted on the baby, make sure to tell the others hahaha
If you are missing with your catapult and it's dying, drag dino corpses to it and let the karkinos eat the corpses. It will heal him up a lot then try again with the same torpor you left off with.
On ragnarok there is a secret under water cave with karkinkos high levels I tamed a level 190
