To identify the Rock Crab, you have to look out for rocks without shadows, sometimes slightly overlapping nearby rocks, as well as rocks on dirt patches (not including [[Mining#Nodes|Nodes]]).
Rock Crabs may be differentiated from rocks by striking them with a [[Weapons|weapon]].  A Rock Crab will make a knocking sound and a zero damage indicator will pop up when hit with a weapon, while a rock will not.  


The Rock Crab can only be dealt damage if it is mobile, and not hiding beneath its rock. You can strike an immobile Rock Crab with your [[pickaxe]] to make it mobile again. Striking a Rock Crab with a [[pickaxe]] enough times will knock the rock off of the Rock Crab's back, and will cause it to flee. Alternatively, setting off a [[bomb]] near a Rock Crab can remove its rock, and will cause it to flee as well.
Hidden Rock Crabs can also be differentiated visually from rocks by a lighter shadow, as well as the presence of two brown pixels on the lower right-hand side of the rock where usually these would be black. In the image below, the Rock Crab is on the left, and a normal rock is on the right.

Behavior

They disguise themselves as stones, sometimes surprising the player. When immobile, they are invulnerable to attack, though they can be hit with a pickaxe to knock them back, making them mobile again.

Strategy

Rock Crabs may be differentiated from rocks by striking them with a weapon. A Rock Crab will make a knocking sound and a zero damage indicator will pop up when hit with a weapon, while a rock will not.

Hidden Rock Crabs can also be differentiated visually from rocks by a lighter shadow, as well as the presence of two brown pixels on the lower right-hand side of the rock where usually these would be black. In the image below, the Rock Crab is on the left, and a normal rock is on the right.

The Rock Crab can only be dealt damage if it is mobile, and not hiding beneath its shell. Strike an immobile Rock Crab with a pickaxe to make it mobile again.

Striking a Rock Crab with a pickaxe enough times will knock the shell off of its back, and will cause it to flee. Alternatively, setting off a bomb near a Rock Crab can remove its shell, and will cause it to flee as well.

An equipped Magic Quiver will shoot arrows at rock crabs even while they are disguised, identifying them as monsters before the player approaches (provided the trinket was not already firing at a different enemy).

History

  • 1.0: Introduced.
  • 1.4: Fixed bug that caused striking an unshelled crab with a pickaxe to produce the same sounds and debris as hitting a rock. Dropped Crabs now always bounce around before being taken into inventory, instead of bouncing only when inventory was full.
