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!

I have ran into these things before... If you find them I would RUN FASTER THAN YOUR TRIBE MATES

They drop Organic Polymer when you harvest their corpse

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

It'll drop you if you log out.

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

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

Be careful when attacking them since then can grab you off of most mounts (including your own crab)

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

Throwing a plant z grenade can cause a Karkinos to drop you or your dino. Essential when traveling on Ravenger back.

can be found along with ravagers and other creatures on Valguero. northeast of map, look for underground waterfall.

Killing these will give you alot of chitin and organic polymer if you ever wanna live on floating islands on crystal isles.

Can be used to tame aggres-passive dinos (e.g arthropluera) more easily by grabbing them since it doesn't drop them when you dismount like argentavis.

If you intend on fighting a Karkinos with a creature that can not be picked up, make sure to never attack the Karkinos from the back of your mount. Ex, crossbow, rifle, etc. If you do the Karkinos will agro onto the player at witch point it can pluck you right off your mount.

They seem to have a bug where a Sarco just stands under them so the can’t attack them somehow. I lost 2 craps to a lvl 10 sarco because of that.....

On crystal isles,these are an easy find in the river that surrounds the biggest yellow crystal at the Eastern floating islands.

Easily at least 8 there at a time. Be sure to look at all the small lakes in the area you can find 2 in each of them at anytime.

When on a tame don't shoot at it otherwise it'll pick you instead.

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.

Beware of the front as they do a smash attack with their claws. They also have a pick up move which can pick up small dinos.

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