How to catch Black Crab
Use the Shellfish Tongs. The exact approach depends on the creature’s category and, for shore-dwellers, its species type.
- Equip the Shellfish Tongs and search the intertidal zone along the beach.
- Shellfish are mostly stationary. The Pearl Oyster is the notable exception and can move.
First catch: the creature is added to the Omnidex. Offer it to Mors at the Omni-Gallery to put it on display and unlock its Omnipedia entry.
Where and when to find it
Habitat: Intertidal Zone. Distribution: Islet Specialty from Hexia Zone H83 — this is an islet specialty, so plan it into a Starsea Voyage rather than a planet sweep..
Season: Year-Round. Time: All Day. Weather: Any Weather. If two of those tags are restrictive, check the creature tracker before you set out.
Omnipedia
Intertidal Zone · Scylla serrata
Black crabs like to hide in muddy burrows, only showing their large pincers in the face of danger.
This often leads to them losing their important pincers.
But don't worry too much! When they molt their shell next time, those important pincers will grow back.
