<p>Pray for snow: Removed a duplicate {{monster info}} section.</p> <hr /> <div>{{version017}}<br /> {{monster info}}<br /> {{list of | arthropods}}<br /> <br /> ==Useful Info==<br /> '''Ghost crabs''' are aggravating amphibious opponents which flood the battlefield with spectral mist clouds, damaging non-undead targets and summoning [[branch]]-appropriate [[spectral thing]]s to assault you. They are durable enough to take a hit or two, and inflict [[draining]] with their melee attacks, but more often than not simply blast you from the back row while their summons tear you apart. They can be found in [[the Swamp]].<br /> <br /> ==Tips &amp; Tricks==<br /> *They aren't undead, and thus can't be affected by [[Dispel Undead]] or weapons of [[holy wrath]]. They ''are'' vulnerable to [[poison]], however. If you can start off a fight hitting them with a couple poison [[needle]]s (or better yet, [[curare]]), you'll have a much easier time inflicting lethal damage even as their summons make life unbearable.<br /> *Laying down your own clouds will prevent a ghost crab from filling those tiles with spectral mist. A [[scroll of fog]] is your safest bet, and it's easy to lure the guy into your cloud bank so you can take him out at close range. If you have [[poison]] resistance, [[Mephitic Cloud]] also works wonderfully, especially if you confuse the crab in the process.<br /> *[[Undead]] characters are healed by spectral mist, and thus have a much easier time with these opponents.</div>
