Hermit Crab



Hermit crabs are creatures in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor and Fallout 76. It is a mutated version of its pre-War ancestor.

Characteristics
The hermit crab still resembles its unmutated pre-War ancestor closely both in appearance and habits, with the only major difference being its immense size. Towering head and shoulders over any human, hermit crabs are far too large to protect their vulnerable abdomen by squeezing it into an empty gastropod shell. Instead, they use wrecked vehicles to facilitate their ambush hunting style.
