Useful Info
Ghost crabs are aggravating amphibious opponents which flood the battlefield with ghostly flames, damaging non-undead targets and summoning branch-appropriate spectral things 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.

Tips & Tricks
- 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 needles (or better yet, curare), you'll have a much easier time inflicting lethal damage even as their summons make life unbearable.
- Laying down your own clouds will prevent a ghost crab from filling those tiles with ghostly flame. 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.
- Undead characters are healed by ghostly flames, and thus have a much easier time with these opponents.
