It can grab a Carno. :( Also, Stegos.

These things are overpowered when it comes to defending your base because you can throw away anything they send at you.

I recommend building a trap and using a catapult because if you hit the crab on its pinchers or legs... bye bye karkinos!

Make four stone Dino gates and get a friend to lead it in to the trap then you go behind it and place the 4th Dino gate to trap it. Then get your other friend to agro it so he can shoot the catapult at its back. Put catapult 3 pillars high

Controls are as follows: Hold space the charge jump, hold rmb/lmb to grab hold of dino. Hold "C" to charge up your throw. Tapping rmb/lmb will attack. Also drops ORGANIC POLYMER

You need to have a catapult,some pillars,stone gates, after that DONT shoot the catapult at the head, aim for the body after that feed it spoiled,fresh,fish meat

Keep your distance and DO NOT GET TOO CLOSE! The crab has the ability to grab a player and slam them into he ground repeatedly. The crab also has the ability to jump.

I believe the cannon deals more torpor than the catapult. Saw syntac drop a lvl 100 with 1 cannonball to the head

Very similar to rock elemental tame. Hit with catapult in the body to do torpor

This is a magnificent crab that can help you during metal runs, he can literally throw overweighted creature so far!

Very good utility tame. Can carry two dinos at a time. They can also carry the tames even when you aren’t riding them and have them set to follow. I used them for metal gathering with ankys,.

You can knockout one by shooting with catapult then feeding killed

I advise against putting traps in sarco heavy areas. The crabs won't have enough health to be knocked out.

have this thing duel wield velonasaurs and watch the massacre

For metal get a anky ride one fill the Wight and pick up with a crab 1 got about 10 stacks of metal

Finally tamed, tried all different traps but main thing is to let the crab eat you if its health is too low and come back to pounce on him again. You wont lose too much torpor and he will get about 30% of its health

Grab two arthros with bobs on em and let em destroy any base you want.

need metal on abb but your anky is to slow pick it up with a crab and take it where the metal is rich

Do not I reapeat not use anything that shoots projectiles enless it's a cattapult , ballasts ect. It takes 10% damage from those I'm not sure about bows and cross bows.

As it's a good all around dino except for the speed it's still possible to be torn off it's back by a raptor.
