[FAQ] • [doc]

Rock crabs are aggressive monsters that look like harmless rocks while they are asleep, but when they wake up, they attack unsuspecting passers; however, once their target leaves the nearby area, they are no longer aggressive. It should be noted that, unlike other enemies and NPCs, rock crabs are not marked with yellow dots on the minimap; this is probably due to the fact that the crabs' appearance camouflages them as rocks. Players can tell if a rock is a crab or not by looking at the rock's shape, Rock crabs are tall oval shaped, but normal rocks in their area are mostly in large clusters of shattered pieces. It should also be noted that, as with most aggressive monsters, rock crabs will stop attacking a player if they have not left the surrounding area in a considerable amount of time (roughly between ten and twenty-five minutes); as they are "dormant" until "awoken" by a passing player, rock crabs cannot be attacked until they are made aggressive once more. To fix this, simply run out of the surrounding area (to be sure, run halfway to the entrance to the village of Rellekka or simply enter and exit the entrance to Keldagrim) and run back, at which point the rock crabs will once more be aggressive.

In the quest Fur 'n' Seek, its carcass must be collected and cleaned for the Odd Old Man.

For extremely low defence levelled players, it is recommended that if you are killing these creatures for long periods of time, you bring some food just in case as there are no nearby banks. It is also recommended that you bring a Camelot teleport/teletab to bank for more food as it is near the area of the rock crabs. You could also use the bank in Keldagrim. The entrance is right between the statues to the east of the Rock Crabs.

Training

Rock Crabs are commonly trained upon by low and high levels alike, due to their high exp rewards, and occasionally valuable drops, and their low combat level and defence. Most places where Rock Crabs reside are heavily crowded, so, if you plan to train on them, it is best to choose an activity world.

Trivia

File:Attacking Rock Crab.gif

A rock crab wakes up and attacks an approaching player

• When rock crabs are camouflaged, if you look at them closely, you can see some of their legs showing.
• The examine option for the crab when it is camouflaged is different when it is active.
• You can notice the "living" rocks by right-clicking the rocks. If they're crabs it is marked as yellow, when the normal rock would be blue.
• The examine for rock crabs is: "No-one likes crabs." This could be a reference to the parasite.
• The examine could also be a reference to grumpy people, as they are sometimes called "crabs".
• They hit just as fast as the abyssal whip.
• If Ring of Wealth is equipped , the chances of oysters dropping increases significantly.
• You can level up faster Like jallaf
