Um just tell your dinosaurs to follow you and run if your an early player

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

I was happily walking along the shoreline, it was a warm and sunny day, and I was feeling good about my new raptor tame. Suddenly, my tribemate comes running out of the blue and then he gets smushed by giant Mr.Crabs. Please be careful, especially when around streams and water. Like mentioned earlier, they will SMUSH YOU WITH ONE SMACK OF THEIR CLAWS.

Even though it was a big difference

Drops organic polymer grabs you and smashes you on ground

Then I told the police he grabbed me...

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!

You will encounter this in the floating Islands on the north eastern corner be careful they will tear you off your mounts

Tip: Remember when fighting these things, they can pick you off a rockdrake :(

These guys are weaker than they look. I had a few low levels near my base and they died to my level 5 sarco. They’re biggest attack is when they grab you but if you just use a Dino like a sarco then they stand no chance

Even though it's mainly a water dino, it can still pose a threat to you on land, so be careful!

Karkinos grab their prey if it is small enough and bash it prey up and down. Best way to get away from one is by running. Karkinos are slow and won't catch up in time you don't spot running!

Tranq your mate and run for your life

Beware, usually found near spinosaurus and they don't attack each other.

They are slow but if your cornered or surrounded just pray for mercy😇

Even if you have a swarm of Carnos don't mess with karkinos chances are it will pull you off and turn you into powder before your dinos kill it.

if you want to shoot him use a crossbow rather than a firearm personally I fired a dozen bullets he hardly lost his life but with three crossbow arrows it was over

It can grab a Carno. :( Also, Stegos.

To escape there claw press and hold A ir simply press A it worked for me ps4 players use the green button idk what else I'm on xbox one try it it works bote its important

If you see these guys in the wild the aren’t as difficult to kill with a ledge and few arrows to the legs you’ll be set.
