Handsome crabs are monstrous crustaceans with a bright blue exoskeleton, bulging eyes, and cyan or grey-colored undersides. They are constantly drooling from their maws, which are lined with razor-sharp fangs. They are capable of landing critical hits and their shells offer them excellent protection against the weapons of adventurers, but they are still vulnerable to attack magic.
