| A variety of crab prized for its brilliantly jewelled shell. The rarity of the shells is only enhanced by its vicious, fiery nature, and its almost supernatural ability to expel massive quantities of flames.
“The planet brought forth scintillating jewelled scuttling crabs, which [they] ate, smashing their shells with iron mallets; tall aspiring trees with breathtaking slenderness and colour which [they] cut down and burned the crab meat with.” |

Useful Info
Fire crabs are fairly durable crustaceans with fiery melee attacks and the ability to flood their surroundings with clouds of flame. Fortunately, they are only found in the deeper sections of the Dungeon, the Depths, and the Vaults. You can also find them in a volcano-themed Lair end-vault and in actual volcanoes, wading through lava.

Tips & Tricks
- Fire resistance can significantly reduce their damage output.
- Don't expect running away to do you much good. Even if you can escape the clouds in a step, they'll be likely to blast you with new clouds. Kill them quick to take the fire out at the source!
- They have moderately low willpower. Wands can work at disabling them, though it may take a few tries.
- They are vulnerable to poison, so poison in general is effective. Waiting for poison to tick down can be dangerous without rF+, however.
