Crabs are found all over the 7 islands. They can be found in the mountains as well. They can be picked up for gold and HP.
When Caught[]
Typical values when caught: ≈33; ≈50; ≈66 gold and 1-4 HP.
When it plays the catch crab sfx, you get approximately double the typical gold values: ≈67; ≈100; ≈133 gold.
You also get a little extra HP: 2-5 HP.
A normal crab can sometimes give you 100 gold (200 if doubled) but it is uncommon.
Extra Gold and HP[]
On rare occasions you will sometimes get a larger than usual amount of gold (150-1000) and HP (6-33) from one crab. It usually plays the catch crab sfx more than once in a row but you do not always get extra gold.
The extra gold and HP happens in approximately 14% of crabs (10 out of 73).
