Pick up a stego with it then stand near a titanoboa/pulmonoscorpius congrats you got a free Stego no tranqs needed. When your done just pick up the titanoboa/scorpion and go to another stego. Works with anything from dodos to pachyrhinosaurus.

Also drops chitin and organic polymer.

I don’t see this a lot but if you pick something up, you can knock it out while the crab is holding it. I nicked out a Dodic this way and it worked pretty whell. If wou get one with high health you can probably use it to get a ravager or raptor.

Turret velos can become guns, get 2 high levels and a good crab and go ham

Honesty it’s ability to carry is insane, you can dismount and it will still hold the creature you’re carrying, can carry two, can throw insanely far, and can even pick up stegos.

If you pick up a wild dino in the claw you can get off the crab and it will still be held. So you can grab something like a ravager and it will be chilling there while you make narcotics and such. Also for ravagers you can pick up the alpha without angering the others just don’t attack or it makes things harder.

Whacky catapult of a crustacean. Throw your dinos throw your friends even your enemies!

Can harvest with chain saw for poly just tame a low level cloner or kill wilds but as far in know chainsaw best tool

Karkinos is also great at defense, is someone is trying to soak your turrets with stegos or turtles you can toss them away and win a lot of time while the atackers have to go take their tames back. Especially if near a ledge or cliff

Can carry utility dinos like anklusaures and more.

Walking harvesting tank. Dual wield doedics and auto harvest stone or have friends on them to really load them or an anky up

My friends and I tamed one and I then tamed an anky. Boom tons of metal, I just picked him and the anky up with the crab and then he would harvest the metal nodes

Aim for his butt with bolders. Also, be carful or you’ll end up dying if you Don’t have backup

For metal get a anky ride one fill the Wight and pick up with a crab 1 got about 10 stacks of metal

Pulls players of saddles don't fightitwith small tames

Basically immune to status effects like pachy gas and dilo spit since they won't use their ability when picked up

Chainsaw for Max organic poly, your welcome

This Is a great tame for material runs. If you have 2 people, you can use any material-getting tame and the crab. Just pick up the tame while someone is riding it and go farm away.

In my experience the karkinos is good for raiding bases and gathering resources.

The Karkinos and the Anky is a great way to farm metal in aberration in the blue zone.
