Introduction

Magebane crabs are a subspecies of Giant Crab. Similarly decapodal, they are distinguished by their increased toughness, immunity to inimical magical spells and ability to dispel magics from their prey. In this respect, they are similar to Magebane Bats. They attack with their large pincer-like forelegs, the others being used in locomotion, reproduction, and other tasks.

Feeding Habits

Like other giant crabs, they are omnivorous and opportunistic, feeding upon whatever they can get their claws onto, whether plant and fungal matter, dead carrion or live prey.

Disposition and Social Habits

They are often found amongst other subspecies of giant crab, possibly interbreeding with them. It is rare, though not impossible, to find more than one Magebane crab in a group of giant crabs, which lends credence to a supposition that they are a mutated version of giant crab and do not breed true amongst themselves.

Habitat

Lives in or near water of some depth, usually in caves of some size which have deep pools or running water in them.

Fylgia

Most compatible: Giant Spider

  • Most similar body form, locomotion, and feeding habits

Other notes

Like a Magebane Bat, they resist magical spells used on them, and they have the ability to dismiss magics from their prey and often do so by touch in combat, though they do not seem to have the ability to produce a Mordenkainen's Disjunction as the Magebane Bat does. They appear blueish white dorsally, fading to white ventrally, with red foreclaw tips.
