Monster Number 004: Dead Crab. In the first part, we talked about the most disgusting and vicious insectivor in "King Kong", and this one we talk about its neighbor, the crab, a creature with a malicious name.
Born in the fantasy world of the movie "King Kong", the full name is Deplector, and the size is between 1.2 meters and 2.4 meters (what a crab the size of a sofa can be brain repaired).
The data shows that it belongs to the terrestrial decapods (subordinate arthropods, in reality, similar organisms include shrimp, hermit crabs, crabs, etc., and more importantly, most of these creatures are edible species, and they are extremely delicious).
Like the extremely vicious insectivore, the dead crab lives in the abyss crack in the southern half of Skull Island, except that the dead crab lives in a cave on the abyss rock wall. They generally do not run around, but quietly lurk in the hole, quietly waiting for their prey to pass by. Compared with the extremely vicious insectivorous, the dead crab is more active in obtaining food, and they love living things.
The data describes that the main prey of the dead crab is the vulture bat dragon in the abyss. (One of the Fantasy Creatures of Skull Island, similar to the Earth Cave Bat, is based on the prehistoric Bat Dragon, but it is a little smaller than the Bat Dragon.) ）
Vulture bats have habits similar to cave bats, and at night they flock to the abyssal crevasse to prey on relatively small bugs (such as moths). At this moment, it is also the dinner time of the dead crab, and the data describes that it can eat more than 10 vulture bat dragons in one night.
The main attack point of the crab is a pair of huge claws on the chest, which are not only extremely powerful, but also as sharp as a blade. The attack method is to eject the claw like a bullet and complete the fatal clamp in an instant. In order to complete this explosive action, the crab will use the fibrous substance of the excrement to solidify its body inside the cave.
Otherwise, a violent ejection would probably cause it to fall from the rock wall into the quagmire of the extremely vicious insectivor, and then be swallowed up by this group of disgusting guys.
Because they live in the dark abyss cracks all year round, the dead crabs are also called blind dead crabs, and they have no vision. Perception of the outside world is mainly based on tentacles up to 3.6 m long. The pair of tentacles accurately captures a variety of sources, including tiny shock waves in the air. So in the territory of the dead crab, the first thing to do is to keep quiet.
As for the defense of the dead crab, it all depends on a hard and blackened exoskeleton. They undergo several molts during their maturation, eventually growing to about 2.4 meters as mentioned above. (But their exoskeletons can't hold heat weapons.)
Finally, I would like to add that the crabs we mentioned above are all females of the race. The male will always maintain a juvenile form, looking like a white tender and soft lump, and the size is particularly short compared to the female dead crab. Male dead crabs are one of the weakest creatures in the abyss food chain, so they can only live in the cave of female dead crabs, and usually eat the leftovers of females.
Like all crabs, females spawn large numbers of crabs, laying hundreds of eggs at once. After hatching, the baby crab will leave the cave on its own and find its own home on the rock wall of the abyss. (In the process, a large number of small crabs will die and turn into dinner for other creatures.)
Next, we will continue to introduce the fantasy prehistoric insect family, interested friends, you can pay attention to a wave of yo in advance.
