'''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.

 

In addition, Iridium Crabs can sometimes be differentiated from Iridium Nodes by their placement. Since Iridium Crabs can spawn anywhere on the floor, they will often not be placed in the center of a tile. If an Iridium Node seems misplaced relative to the other rocks, it can therefore be ruled out as an Iridium Crab. This trick can be useful to quickly identify Iridium Crabs without needing to interact with them.

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 [[Pickaxes|pickaxe]] to make it mobile again.
