Tips & Strategies
They will only take torpor damage by headshots with a catapult (haven't tried cannon yet). It adds around 450 torpor but does 250 damage per hit. so if it's health gets low, drag a body or carcass next to it and it will eat it and heal it for a large amount of health, but it's torpor will remain the same. A magnifying glass helps with determining it's health and torpor levels, also it does an animation when hit in the head from what I have seen.

THEY CAN BREED NOW GOOD LUCK ON MUTATIONS π
ASA: Catapult dont works in offical Servers. User a Canon and shoot at the Back. Build a Trap and good luck.
Cannons do not lower efficiency, one hit knock out, catapults are broken on ASA.
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! :)
They sometimes have babies following them but mostly only seen in blue or red zones (Asa only)
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
Shoot from the front with a cannon, catapults donβt work anymore.
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.
This tame is like the Rock elemental, but do not shoot it in the head. Shoot it right in the back of it's shell. Anywhere else will kill it fast.
