Description

This crab is much bigger than the other giant crab's that inhabit the beaches of Dominia. After many months of training, these crabs learned to take protection in rock, in turn they have become much stronger. A big rock lay atop its regular shell and the outsides of it claws are coated with a rock like material. Very often there will be a family of seagulls nesting atop its shell.
