Amphibious. The crab can breathe air and water.
Actions
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d6 + 1) bludgeoning damage, and the target is grappled (escape DC 11). The crab has two claws, each of which can grapple only one target.
Crabs are sexy
Super HOT
But is it big enough to ride?
You can ride something 1 size larger, so yes if you are small.
The picture I see is of a toothy cat like a puma. That ain't no crab.

Time for Crab
crabs are people, clams are people, legit or quit
Having my party 3 level 4 characters fight 20 of these guys hahaha
Turns out,these make great ranger companions! kinda hard to work into a story where we are in the desert though.
20 crabs would only be a CR of 2, would that even be a challenge for your party?
DMRS
Economy of action. Sure by adding up the base numbers it is only CR2, but 20 rounds of attacks has a solid chance of bringing one character down. If only 5 get a hit on 1 character a round that averages out to 20 points of damage. Even a level 4 fighter would be feeling pretty hurt. A level 4 wizard might be out of the fight.
True dat, may have exact monsters attack the pirate vessel my peeps are on. Same level, 6 in the party. Gnome ranger has been seeking one out as a mount. Now to find 20 crab mini's.

wooh
Well Tamatoa hasn’t always been this glam;
Can cook skill be used after? With butter...
hvgh;b
Can these grapple one person in EACH claw, or one person for both claws together?
How do these things have +4 to sneak, I understand i'm being kinda unfair by comparing to Skyrim but those mud crabs would make a ton of noise.

Go below it's stats to play the sound effect.
Not my party discussing how to cook these giant freaks up while I, the dm, watch in horror-
