A coral crab

Coral Crabs are large sandcrabs found along Summerset as well as High Isle and Amenos' coastlines.

The crabs appear in two varieties: a purple variant with coral growing upon its back, which attack from range, and a blue variant without a coral growth, which fight in melee range. Both types possess a small and a large claw.

Skills and AbilitiesEdit

These large crustaceans have adapted to the crystal-clear and coral-filled shores of Summerset Isles: They cover themselves in coral, anemones, and other sea creatures that can be coaxed into taking root on their shells. Their massive claws aren't only for show; they can also crush thick carapaces and pry open the most obstinate bivalves. — Summerset Prima Guide description^[1]^:213

MeleeEdit

Claw: The crab snips you with its claw, dealing low physical damage.
Monstrous Slam: The crab backhands you with its big claw, dealing moderate physical damage.

RangedEdit

Water Jet: A ranged ability. The crab leans back and spits a high-velocity jet of water at a single target.

Another variation of a coral crab
Fish Toss: The crab tosses a green, rotten fish at you, landing at your location then bouncing off to a second location leaving poison at both, indicated by circular AoEs, dealing continuous low poison damage.
Healing Waters: The crab performs a healing dance, waving its claws in the air to call over injured crabs. Any crab who enters the affected area will be healed. This ability can be interrupted to set the crab off-balance.
