-'''Apocalypse crabs''' are extraordinarily unpleasant [[demonic]] crustaceans which breathe huge [[cloud#chaoscloud|clouds]] of seething chaos at you, inflicting multiple [[chaos]] effects on you if you don't have [[cloud immunity]]. They are also capable of unpredictable damage in melee due to their chaos-[[brand]]ed attacks, and they are very resistant to both [[fire]] and [[cold]]. They can usually be found in [[the Abyss]], but some Abyss- or crab-themed vaults can have them too.
+'''Apocalypse crabs''' are unpleasant [[demonic]] crustaceans who breathe huge [[Cloud#Seething chaos|clouds]] of seething chaos at you, inflicting [[chaos]] effects on you and anything standing inside. They can also inflict chaos in melee, and have resistances to fire and cold.

 ==Tips & Tricks==
-*You do not want to find yourself stuck in a cloud of seething chaos if you can help it. If you find yourself standing in one and see a chaos-free space adjacent to you, immediately step clear. As these pests only appear in the Abyss, you can't rely on [[Blink]] to get you clear, so walking out as quickly as possible is your best bet.
+*Chaos can include very dangerous effects, such as [[paralysis]], so you'll want to avoid the clouds of chaos if you can at all help it.
-*These crabs have low HD and [[poison]] vulnerability, so if you happen to still know [[Mephitic Cloud]], feel free to blast away with it. If you have poison resistance, even better! Shooting yourself with Mephitic Cloud will create defensive noxious clouds that will keep away the chaos.
+**Placing a cloud (such as [[scroll of fog]] or [[Mephitic Cloud]]) will prevent new clouds from being placed on the tile.
-*Note that [[cloud immunity]] protects you only from clouds of seething chaos. When the breath hits you, it can still apply chaos effects, including [[paralysis]] or [[banishment]].
+**If you find yourself standing in one and see a chaos-free space adjacent to you, immediately step clear. [[Blink]] can be unreliable in Abyss-generated terrain, so walking out as quickly as possible is your best bet.
-*Although fighting chaos-branded enemies in melee is usually a risky idea, you're already in the Abyss, so the worst-case scenario is already ruled out.
