Giant Mudcrab!

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 7:50 pm

Exploring earlier this afternoon in the whiterun county.

Near some water i was attacked by 6-7 mudcrabs 1 of which would not move off of this large rock. At the time i didn't realise so i jumped on it and slashed the standing mudcrab after i sat for a small break to eat some crab with my kinsman Vorstag i realised the rock we were sat on was infact the shell of a mudcrab that would have troubled giants and mammouths!!

Anyone else seen this??

Could have been done by using setscale on that mudcrab.

Cool! Gonna check it out by my own since now I'm very close to this location in my game.
In Markarth cave you can find a giant spider, if you care... Eww :(.

Your Skyrim runs pretty smooth by the way :). It's X360 version, right?

There is a quest you can get from some hunter that has you go find the...I don't know, avatar versions? Anyway, he starts you out with sending you to find the skeever, mudcrab and, I think, wolf version, but then he says that the later animals come after you kill those. I'll try to look up the location when I can. Also, at the little hut where you get the quest there's a crown on the stump outside his house that reduces the cost of all schools of spells (it doesn't say by how much).

Quest: Kyne's Sacred Trials
It starts at a place called Froki's Shack which is along the southern mountain range in the Rift (Riften's hold).

EDIT: I was reading about the quest and it might be unrelated. Sorry about that.

I did a quick main story playthrough on the xbox(maybe level 22 at the end) and only encountered a few random freezes on the load screen but it was nothing too bad. Hopefully my PC playthroughs will be smooth as well...

Anyway, I have seen the shell before. The largest thing I encountered was a spider. I didn't think it was all that big when I saw it coming down from the ceiling but then realized just how huge it was when it landed practically on top of me. It wiped the floor with my character so fast that I am ashamed to admit it lol.

I'm really happy that they made the mudcrabs tougher this time around. They were the most annoying things in Oblivion.

Someone has to make a mod so that those can actually appear in game, can't be that hard to make just increase the damage and hp of the regular mudcrab and make it bigger.

Just got done with this quest and i have to say i was dissappointed in the reward amulet. And yes the giant mud crab west of Whiterun IS part of that quest. A total of seven guardian creatures in all and for all that work and running around the payoff svcked IMHO.

I haven't seen that one, but I royally got pwn'd by a mudcrab...he was a really strong one, and I thought I was imagining things, I reloaded...and yes he was tougher than average.

It's the spawn place of the Guardian Mudcrab for a certain quest.
