I just found a giant mudcrab...!?

Post » Thu Nov 08, 2012 8:02 am

Has anyone else stumbled upon this guy?

I was in a cave doing my usual exploring thing and my Detect Life gauntlets outlined a very weird pattern in the distance. It looked like a huge spider or something. As I got closer I saw it. It was a giant mudcrab! At least 5 times the size of a normal mudcrab. I was terrified. Thankfully it was really easy to kill, but it still creeped me out.

Anyone else find this guy? I thought that was really cool.

Greenmead Cave? :)

I love how all TES games have references to giant mudcrabs (well, at least since Morrowind, I've never found one in Daggerfall)

Yep, Greenmead Cave!

I am fascinated by giant mudcrabs. Especially the Emperor Crab. I hope they add an Emperor Crab in Solstheim.

This was a crazy encounter though! Never thought I'd see that at the end of a cave crawl :D

By the way, what was the giant mudcrab reference in Morrowind? Ald-Skar?

Yeah. It's said to have been resurrected during the Oblivion Crisis - imagine the battle which ensued!

Oh wow, never knew that! Very cool stuff. I wonder if it escaped into to the sea and made it's way to Solstheim. I have a gut feeling we are going to see it in Dragonborn because of the Gamejam video. Here's hoping :)

First time I saw this mudcrab.... I ran away. You see, I was that guy who got killed by a mudcrab when he stepped out of the sewers. Yeah, that guy. :down:
