Mechanics[]

  • Mantis shrimps evolve into Japanese spider crabs.
    • 48,000 XP is required for a mantis shrimp to evolve into a Japanese spider crab.
  • Japanese spider crabs do not evolve into any other animals, as they are a top tier animal.
  • Japanese spider crabs drop meat upon death.
  • As a Japanese spider crab, friendly fire is turned off for all tier 1 animals, Crabs, King Crabs and Hermit Crabs meaning you cannot damage them nor be damaged by them.

Web Sling

Suitable Biomes[]

  • The suitable biome(s) for the Japanese spider crab are the deeeep and the arctic (cold, salt, shallow / deep in open beta).
    • If a Japanese spider crab enters the ocean, it will lose temperature.
    • If a Japanese spider crab enters the ocean surface, it will lose temperature and oxygen.
    • If a Japanese spider crab enters the arctic surface, it will lose oxygen.
    • If a Japanese spider crab enters the swamp, it will lose temperature and salinity.

Strategy[]

  • Your web-sling ability lets you easily traverse through the arctic and the deep, which depending on the map you're in, can have lots of terrain, or next to none.
  • Your main prey should be non-tank opponents that are susceptible to bleed damage.
  • Do not overuse your web-sling ability for offense, rather use it to grapple to large patches of food or algae, to recover your health.
  • You are not buoyant, but you can use this to your advantage when your prey is moving down; your non-buoyancy will move you faster than the animal.

Skins[]

Skins are cosmetics used to change an animal's looks, or sometimes, an animal’s biome or size statistics slightly. The table below shows the list of approved skins that can be used for the Japanese Spider Crab.

Realistic skins can be used in every time of the year. They are mostly based on real-life species, or adjectives such as 'Battle-Scarred' or 'Dark'.
