I’d say I’m having pretty bad day. So, I just bought Abberation and I was so excited, so I went over to the water. I don’t know much about Abberation, so I thought the Karkinos was just a kind little crab. Oh boy was I wrong.. I went closer to the water, as I was thirsty. But the Karkinos comes running up to me, picks me up and shreds me to pieces. Let’s just say I took a little break from Abberation 1 minute after I bought it.

Available at floating island caves in Crystal Isles.

They're very rare in there so be patient

It's a Giant crab that can throw it's enemies far away

They spawn in Genesis in several caves in the Lunar biome

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 walk over spiked walls.

Will rip you off tame I repeat TAKE YOU PFF YOUR TAME AND KILL YOU EASY

killed an alpha with my x-allo and only lost 1-2k health, compared to the allo’s over 20k health total. These things are pretty easy to kill if you have a good creature, and are an amazing source of polymer and chitin.

Kill and use chainsaw for organic polymer or even better use a moschops spec’d into organic farm to really increase that organic poly farm easily

Don't follow into the water, don't use tranqs and don't hit its legs with a catapult

This is a angry crab that you should not get near or it will rip your toes off and use your lungs as a doormat

Giant crab jumps super high, almost has a heart attack, the spawn in Lunar caves!

In the Crystal Isles, there's a large floating island with a massive river. There's at least six of them throughout that river. Get a couple high level aquatic or amphibious tames, I use a max level baryonix and Deinosuchus (modded), but a sarco might work. Don't just bring one creature, these things have no issues teaming up on their prey. Anyway, EXCELLENT resource for chitin and organic polymer, best I've found yet! Beware, though, you're not safe just because you're hovering over the water on a flyer, those things can JUMP!

I killed one with just a bow and movement speed back up shoot turn around and run a little turn and shoot easy way to kill plus lots of chitin and organic polymer easy just bring enough ammo

Unless I am missing something, the Quetzal CANNOT pick up the Karkinos with their feet.

Has a slow reaction time and you can usually avoid it attacking you by running under its legs.This might change in later patches

It'll drop you if you log out.

They often spawn near the lake by the portal in aberration so if your looking for one be careful and don’t swim to deep!
