Traits

Amphibious. The crab can breathe air and water.

Regeneration. If the crab loses a limb, as long as it is still alive, it can regrow it over the course of 1 week. Its head cannot regenerate from injuries sustained.

Delicious. The crab's body can be portioned into units of 3 lbs. crab meat. Each leg is 1,000 units, its grasping claws are worth 500 units, its crushing claws are worth 1,500 units, and its body is worth 1,000 units. When eaten, crab meat cleanses exhaustion and heals the consumer by up to 4d10 hit points.

Actions

Multiattack. The crab makes two claw attacks on its turn.

Big Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 60 ft., one target. Hit: 46 (6d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 18). The crab has two grasping claws, each of which can grapple only one target.

Bigger Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +18 to hit, reach 60 ft., one target. Hit: 72 (10d12 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

Legendary Actions

Big Crabmeat can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Big Crabmeat regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

Stomp. Melee Weapon Attack: +17 to hit, reach 40 ft., one target. Hit: 52 (10d8 + 7) bludgeoning damage.

Claw. Big Crabmeat uses a claw attack.

Screech. Big Crabmeat makes an infernal noise. All creatures within 500 feet that are susceptible to extremely loud noises must succeed on a DC 18 Strength saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is deafened and frightened. A creature may repeat the saving throw on its subsequent turns, ending the effects on a successful save.

Description

A monstrous crab with two distinct pairs of claws, one being those of a spider crab and the other being those of a coconut crab. Big Crabmeat towers over mountains, and most other sea life is loath to approach its domain. Despite its tremendous bulk, it is frighteningly fast in its home element of the sea.

It is terrifying to behold. However, it is lacking in means of combat other than the use of its claws, as its body is too high up to bite its foes. Thus, tropical settlements often hunt it, not seeking to kill it, but to take a limb and convert it into a long-term food supply. It being very tasty helps with that.
