Single player uses:

1. Taming mount: Karkinos is pretty tough and unlike most "big dinos" you can use a weapon while riding it, they can also grab two dinos at once and if you dismount then they won't immediately eat them like a Megalosaurus would.

2. Aquatic mount: Karkinos can't be grabbed by a tusoteuthis and are very strong.

3. Power mount: Big crab strong.

THEY CANT BREED ON MOBILE!!!!

I spent 4 hours taming a high level pair just for them to NOT BREED. This seriously pisses me off, please let others know about this.

Be careful when carrying a Dino that has a tribe mate mounted on it. I was walking up a hill carrying my anky with a tribe mate on it and they went under the map and died. RIP ANKY AND SHINEHORN. Tribemate was eh anyway.

If you're carrying a tamed Doedicurus in your claw the Doedic will automatically start harvesting any stones you hover him over. Just start pumping points into your Doedic's weight because it will stop at about half of its own carry weight. I've yet to discover another tame it will work with though...

Literally the most useful creature ever ,

Need stone/metal/flint it can carry both anky and doed at the same time while benefiting from their weight reduction

Need wood? Can carry the bevear guys plus it got a huuuuge weight so it can carry anything

Need DMG? It has lots already

Need tanking? LOTS WITH stegso Especially

Need a caring soulmate to help you when your at your deepest? ...... Honestly it don got that but it can jump like three stories high

Basically the new quetz. Super weight and can carry tames to harvest resources and then throw them back into the base ;)

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!
