'''Lava Crabs''' are an enemy found in [[The Mines]].

'''Lava Crabs''' are an [[Monsters|enemy]] found in [[the Mines]]. 60 rock crabs (any type) need to be killed for the [[Adventurer's Guild#Monster Eradication Goals|Monster Eradication Goal]] at the [[Adventurer's Guild]].

They disguise themselves as stones, sometimes surprising the player. When immobile, they are invulnerable to attack, though you can hit them with your [[Tools#Pickaxes|pickaxe]] to knock them back, making them mobile again.

==Strategy==

==Strategy==

Attacking in rapid succession will allow the player to kill the crab before it hides and becomes invulnerable to attack.

Lava Crabs may be differentiated from rocks by striking them with a [[Weapons|weapon]].  A Lava Crab will make a knocking sound and a zero damage indicator will pop up when hit with a weapon, while a rock will not.

Striking a crab with a pickaxe will knock the crab back and cause them to flee.  

 

Striking it multiple times with a pickaxe will remove its stone protection, leaving it permanently vulnerable to attacks.  

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

 

Striking a Lava Crab with a [[Pickaxes|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 a Lava Crab can remove its shell, and will cause it to flee as well.

To identify a crab, look for rocks without shadows.

{{History|1.4|Fixed bug that caused striking an unshelled crab with a pickaxe to produce the same sounds and debris as hitting a rock. Dropped [[Crab]]s now always bounce around before being taken into inventory, instead of bouncing only when inventory was full.}}
