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==

To identify the Lava Crab, you have to look out for rocks without shadows, sometimes slightly overlapping nearby rocks, as well as rocks on dirt patches (not including [[Mining#Nodes|Nodes]]).

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.

The Lava Crab can only be dealt damage if it is mobile, and not hiding beneath its shell. You can strike an immobile Lava Crab with your [[pickaxe]] to make it mobile again. Striking with your [[pickaxe]] enough times will knock the shell off of the Lava Crab's 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.

{{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.}}
