Ecology

Bone Crab is a non-magical animal, occupying a real ecological niche — predator, scavenger, herbivore, or pack member. It is most often found in underwater regions. It is small-sized, which shapes how it hunts, hides, or fights.

Behaviour

Bone Crab is driven by instinct — territory, hunger, fear, mating. Its Neutral alignment shapes how it engages with the world — predictable in tendency, even when unpredictable in detail. It is largely instinct-driven; complex strategy is the work of whoever (or whatever) commands it.

Origin

Bone Crab is introduced in Kobold Press's Tome of Beasts 1 (2016). Within a campaign, its existence anchors a region with the kind of weight only an old, named species carries.
