Crabs are voracious scavengers that will eat anything, living or dead, they come across.

'''Constrict''' (ex): A crab deals damage equal to twice its normal claw damage plus its Strength bonus on a successful grapple check.

'''Improved Grab''' (ex): To use this ability, a crab must hit with a claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. Crabs have a +4 racial bonus and can use either Strength or Dexterity bonus on grapple tests.

'''Amphibious''' (ex): Al tough crabs are aquatic, they can survive indefinitely on land.

'''Vermin Traits''': A crab is immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).

'''Skills''': A crab has a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Spot checks.
