Shore Crab

A small crab scuttling along the rocky shoreline.

A palm-sized crab with a mottled brown shell, picking through seaweed and debris along the waterline. It seems content to mind its own business, but those pincers look like they could give a nasty nip if provoked.

Notes
Easiest creature on tutorial island. Passive until attacked, making it safe for players to engage on their own terms. Higher defense than HP due to its shell, but weak to crush damage. Teaches players that not all creatures are aggressive, and introduces the concept of armor versus different damage types.
