- “ Deceivingly swift, this blade was once used to pierce through the carapaces of the indomitable Crustaceous Rex by members of the ill-fated Authority 'Expeditionary Corps'. ”
Also known as King Crab or Crabbo.
Description[]
Crustaceous Rex is a hostile Giant-type mob. Whilst appearing scary, it is one of the less threatening mobs in the Depths thanks to its low mobility and easily learned attack patterns. It has 6 glowing yellow eyes, with a white and purple exterior shell. The upper perimeter of its shell is dotted with large yellow stubs, and it has two large purple claws.

| Bubble Beam | The Crustaceous Rex lifts its head up, and its body backwards before releasing what seems to be poisonous bubbles at its foes, dealing low to medium damage and applying chill. This also friendly fires mobs. Exceptionally easy to get out of the way of. |

Trivia[]
- One of the only monsters in The Depths that one can run away from without climbing.
- The Enforcer in Hell Mode, losing its pull ability, can also be ran away from.
- Likely inspired by "Giant Crab" from Darksouls 3
- Is an almost exact copy of the foam spray, also having a slow effect when hit
- The crab tends to glitch itself into objects, mainly by its claws, which makes it easier to deal with.
- The crab's Crab is canonically named how it is. It wasn't a spelling mistake. It is not that the developer's intended to say Crab Crab, as all the other moves were referred to as a grab, but instead misspelled Grab, thus making it lore to cover up their mistake.[1]
