Crabs can be found primarily near the coasts of Sapience; however, fresh-water varieties are known to inhabit wetland regions, such as the [[Dun Valley]] swamp. A common delight of fishermen, they are commonly used as bait while the sweet meat of larger species can be found in the local cuisine of many coastal principalities such as [[Jaru]], [[Shastaan]], and [[Ashtan]]. | ||
[[ | ;Black crabs: Small black crabs skitter about the underground lake below [[Blackrock]]. Opening and closing their pincers agitatedly, they can be found skittering unceasingly through the inky waters of their home. | ||
;Blue sand crabs: The aggressive blue sand crab is the most numerous of the few species on the desert [[:category: Islands|island]] of [[Tapoa]]. | |||
;Fiddler crabs: Blue-green fiddler crabs march up and down the [[Eastern shore]] of Sapience, avoiding sand boas and sandpipers. One of its claws is distinctly larger than the other, and as the smaller claw moves food towards the mouth, the crab appears to be playing the larger claw like a fiddle. | |||
;King crabs: Though identical to other crabs of the [[Notic]] intertidal regions, the enormous crabs of [[Ka'doloki]] dwarf their siblings, having massive legs and a swollen red carapace. | |||
;Land crabs: Giant land crabs comb the mud of [[Dun Valley]] swamp for hidden clams or dead fish. They have hard, brown shells with sharp spines. | |||
;Red crabs: Waving their claws back and forth, these spiny [[Riparium]] crabs are aggressive, nipping at anything within reach. | |||
;Red king crabs:Gentler than his smaller eastern cousins, the wine-coloured king crab variant of [[Sea Lion Cove]] has a four-foot span. King crabs have a dominant right claw, and they wave them about as they scuttle across the beach comically. | |||
