As it's a good all around dino except for the speed it's still possible to be torn off it's back by a raptor.
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.

What ARK players use the Karkinos for, and how to get the most out of it in ARK: Survival Ascended & Evolved.
Get one of these upgrade speed and weight and get 2 doedics pick em up and they’ll gather stone easily
Theri and doed combo in its claws is a great combo for making stone structures if you got an inventory full of thatch
See something small want to tame it Need THIS GUY
Has a massive throw that will help you to transport dinos and it can jump over behemoth dinogates(Good for rading)
If you play on a server with S+ Structures, you can use the s+ propagator to breed unbreedable dinos like karkinos and griffin
Hold a high lvl carno and fling it at stuff
Reaper disappeared in the floor? Tames stuck in the ceiling/floor? You loaded under the teleporter? Not to worry because the crab will save everyone! 😎
One of the best turret soakers. In hardened plate mode with a high level you'll have no problem draining all your neighbors turret rounds before you kick the door down
You can pick something and keep training the thing
Grab an anky...mat gathering is a treat!
Good for getting around aberration
Can be used in combination with a good melee horse to be an effection tool at knocking out things like ravagers. Just kick something from behind the grabbed creature untill it's dropped from the crab's claws
Just use these guys to handle the players who dont know how to escape the claw
One of the best there is, can pick up 2 ankys at a time and on ab just go down to the blue zone and farm metal till u die (figuratively). We slot capped an anky, myself, a bulbdog, and a rollrat metal farming with one of these bad boys😂
it can pick up anything from a dodo all the way to a stego(trikes+ it cannot including megalos) it can jump very high as well as toss dinos extremly high alot of health and weight and can transport not just your dinos but your alliances dinos...immune to radiation...you cam…
it can pick up anything from a dodo all the way to a stego(trikes+ it cannot including megalos) it can jump very high as well as toss dinos extremly high alot of health and weight and can transport not just your dinos but your alliances dinos...immune to radiation...you cam attack with 1 claw or 2 claws...very slow mouny though
The best op all terrain being able to jump, carry almost anything, and walk underwater.
also super useful for raids via yeeting c4 covered dodos at bases

I wonder if you can take to mantis with swords and use them with Karkinos that would be cool
