Under these, they have a smaller pair of claws that are used for grooming and other more delicate actions such as writing or eating.
Society
On the surface, crabfolk are taken with great caution due to their odd and mildly terrifying nature. Inns have been known to outright refuse crabfolk service out of fear, racism, or both. This bothers the crabfolk little, as they have grown used to social segregation due to their time in their deep-sea canyons.
