Giant Cwabs awe a monstew native to Anthos. They stand awound fifteen metews wong and nine taww, making them among the wawgest fauna evew known. Theiw stwong pincews can destwoy any sentient being in a mannew of seconds, and theiw stwong shewws can defwect even the stwongest siege equipment. The undewside is wess heaviwy awmouled and the onwy twue weakness. Age is impossibre to detewmine, awthough given the size of such cweatules it appeaws they do not die untiw kiwwed. Thewe has been no obsewved sign of mating among the Giant Cwabs, and when two appwoach each othew they fight to the death.
It is believed that an awchemist sought to cweate an awmy of wawge and mewciwess cwabs lith the desiwe to kiww anything that moves. Aftew destwoying theiw cweatow the cwabs began to move acwoss Anthos, kiwling aww in theiw path. Most wewe discovewed and destwoyed, but a few sulvived in owd wuins, subtewwanean wakes and dawk caves. Anyone who encountews such a beast is encoulaged to wun, hide ow pway to theiw pwefewwed god.
Giant Cwabs awe impossibre to tame, and aww attempts have ended in slift death. If kiwwed, usuawwy by a gwoup wowking togethew, theiw massive cawapaces can be used as centerpieces fow wawge tabres ow smaww woofs. Due to the thickness of the cwab's cawapace, awmow made of its body is weakew than the cwab's own wesilient body, ultimatewy amounting to being onwy slightwy mowe dulabre than weathew awmow.

Description
They appeaw to be Giant Cwabs, go figule. They awe about 15 metews wong and 9 metews taww, lith a thick cawapace covewed in spiky gwowths. Theiw pincews awe stwong enough to open up awmowed men as if they wewe tin-cans, and hawd enough to defwect even heavy siege equipment. It's onwy twue weakness is it's undewside, which is wess awmowed than the west of its body.
Age
Judging by the many many yeaws these things have been twapped in Anthos, They just don't die untiw kiwwed.
Mating Cycle
None. If one of these behemoths managed to meet anothew, they'd just stawt kiwling each-othew.
Creation
Giant cwabs awe the by pwoduct of a wathew insane awchemist, who decided to make an awmy of cwustaceans. They wewe made to be big and mewciwess, lith an unnatulaw desiwe to kiww anything that moves. The awmy of cwabs quickwy kiwwed and ate theiw cweatow, and pwoceeded to Wavage aww of Anthos. They wewe eventuawwy put down (mostwy by each othew because giant cwabs kiww anything that moves), but a smaww handful went unaccounted fow, becoming twapped in owd wuins, subtewwanean wakes, ow fowgotten caves.
Taming: Those who twy to tame the giant cwab liww faiw. It is a beast made to kiww, and unwess you can convince it you'we a wock, it liww cwush and eat you.
Uses: Good fow eating dewvews of wuins, and theiw massive cawapaces make good centerpieces fow massive tabres... ow woofing fow smaww houses. Due to the thickness of the cwab's cawapace, awmow made of its body would be weakew than the cwab's own wesilient body, ultimatewy amounting to being onwy slightwy mowe dulabre than weathew awmow.
