'''Iridium Crabs''' are an [[Monsters|enemy]] found in the [[Skull Cavern]], starting at level 26.  When killed, they may drop [[Crab Cakes]] and up to 3 [[Iridium Ore]].  They may also very rarely drop a [[Diamond]] or [[Prismatic Shard]] when killed.

Iridium Crabs may be differentiated from [[Mining#Mining Nodes|Iridium Nodes]] by striking them with a [[Weapons#Sword|Sword]].  An Iridium Crab will make a knocking sound and a zero damage indicator will pop up when hit with a sword, while an Iridium Node will not.

The Iridium Crab can only be dealt damage if it is mobile, and not hiding beneath its shell.  Strike an immobile Iridium Crab with the [[pickaxe]] to make it mobile again.

Striking an Iridium Crab with a [[pickaxe]] enough times will knock the shell off of its back, and will cause it to flee. Alternatively, setting off a [[Crafting#Bombs|bomb]] near an Iridium Crab can remove its shell, and will cause it to flee as well.  A [[Mega Bomb]] is particularly effective at removing Iridium Crab shells.

Oftentimes, the Iridium Crab will be slightly off the usual grid where stones and ores normally spawn. If you notice an iridium node at an odd location, chances are that it's most likely an Iridium Crab.
