Hermit crab (Far Harbor)

The hermit crab is a creature in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor.

Gameplay attributes
Hermit crabs are giant creatures on par with fog crawlers, mirelurk queens and super mutant behemoths. The creatures are short in stature and infrequently encountered on the Island. They utilize vans as a stand-in for their shell, such as those bearing Lobster Grill logos.

When approached, the crab will attack, utilizing its claws. They will stay stationary, not seeking out prey unless other creatures are in close proximity, in which case the crab will comb the area. This will occur in the case of the Sole Survivor, even if they are hidden. The hermit crabs inflict high levels of damage and have high HP, but are slow-moving enemies. They cannot traverse some landscapes, will not enter buildings, nor climb over obstacles. At times they will retreat to their shell and produce hatchlings in groups of up to six that will aid in their attack.

Hermit crab hatchling
Hermit crab hatchlings are identical to mirelurk hatchlings. They look similar (except the color of the skin), show the same behavior and are equally weak in combat, although they can swarm the player character in large numbers.

Hermit crab
The average example of the species. These massive crustaceans are far too large for regular shells and have instead replaced them with "Lobster Grill Family Restaurant" brand trucks.

Glowing hermit crab
A hermit crab that has absorbed large doses of radiation and is glowing because of it.

Albino hermit crab
The albino hermit crab is the strongest variant of its kind. It has white skin and red eyes.

Locations

 * Briney's Bait and Tackle, in front of the building
 * Due west of the Oceanarium, at the farthest end of the destroyed bridge
 * A short distance due north of Waves Crest Orphanage, between two derelict pickup trucks in front of a Vim machine.
 * Just in front of the north screen of Eden Meadows Cinemas, assuming the resident ghouls had previously been taken out.
 * Far Harbor settlers may invite the Sole Survivor on a hermit crab hunt in the quest Deadliest Catch. The target is most often one of the crabs mentioned above (usually the one closest to the settlement where the quest was obtained), provided the creature is still alive at that point.
