Karkinos
The Karkinos is a massive crab-like creature in Ark: Aberration that can grab and smash creatures and players. It can also throw them at great lengths. Using its strong legs, the Karkinos can leap to impressive heights.

Player-written tips for taming, using, and fighting the Karkinos in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
If you mess up and the Karkinos ends up having low hp. Find a small creature, kill it(do not harvest it) and bring its lifelless body to the Karkinos. Stand near the dead body so that when the Karki hits you it also eats the body and regains full hp but the torpor still…

They spawn in Genesis in several caves in the Lunar biome
These guys are on Ragnarok ASA. They are in a cave east of the southwest islands
Make sure to carry around grappling hooks
If picked you can graple the crab and it will let go
In the wild crabs and spinos are buddies... they use the buddy system...
THEY CAN BREED NOW GOOD LUCK ON MUTATIONS 👍
Basically the new quetz. Super weight and can carry tames to harvest resources and then throw them back into the base ;)
On ragnarok there is a secret under water cave with karkinkos high levels I tamed a level 190
You can pickup and yeet dinos with it
Put a catapult on a paracer, bring a high health turtle (carbomemys), whistle attack with the turtle and when the crab hits it put it in passive so you can easily aim and hit him on the body. No weird engineering needed.
The Canon Knocks 150s out in one shot to its core!
You can fire weapons while riding it. Hold a creature you'd like to tame, then tranq it while your crab holds it in a claw - makes solo taming easy!
They can walk over spiked walls.
Alright not exactly my tip, but heard this from the YouTuber pterafier. He said that using a Crab with a Turtle with C4 strapped on it is a good seige device. Put C4 on Turtle, then use Crab to throw the Turtle at a base. Detonate the C4, blowing up the base where the Turtle is…

Karkinos do NOT spawn on Ark Ultimate Mobile Edition Ragnarok map. They only spawn on Mobile Aberration.
Trap it with bear trap and shoot catipults into its body to KO
People keep saying taming efficient gets ruined with Cannons, and maybe it does in ASE, but all the crabs i tame on ASA are starting at 100% and lowers down to about 98.8 with kibble.
Grab two velonasaors on turret mode and then run around. It looks like it is holding two pistols
If you're taming and its health is low, put a corpse beside it. That should do the trick to heal it
