Mudcrab

A small, muddy crab lurking in tidal shallows.

A squat, mud-caked crab barely larger than your fist. It sifts through the silty shallows with stubby legs, more interested in scavenging than fighting. Its shell is soft with age and grime, offering little protection against a determined attacker.

Notes
Weaker and more passive than the shore crab. Ideal for new players venturing beyond the tutorial area. Its softened mud-caked shell means lower overall defense but particularly poor crush resistance. Teaches the crush weakness mechanic before players face the Giant Crab.
