Um just tell your dinosaurs to follow you and run if your an early player
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.
How to survive, fight, and kill a wild Karkinos, from players who have done it.
Drops organic polymer grabs you and smashes you on ground
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.

Then I told the police he grabbed me...

Even though it was a big difference
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…

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!
Tip: Remember when fighting these things, they can pick you off a rockdrake :(
You will encounter this in the floating Islands on the north eastern corner be careful they will tear you off your mounts
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.
Can be fought by 3 main options:
Having at least 3 decently strong creatures so while it picks up 2 the third one will fight.
Have a mount that it can't pick up fight against it.
Shoot at it metal arrows to counter it's damage resistance from most projectiles.
