DescriptionEdit
They are tough and territorial, and groups of them may become troublesome. Individually, they are more of a nuisance than an actual danger.

Mudcrabs are usually detected by the sound of their legs scuttling across the ground. Young mudcrabs have flat carapaces while those of older ones are somewhat conical. Mudcrabs prefer to stay near the water and won't follow the Dragonborn and other beings too far away from their home. Although they are quite weak and can easily be killed by those with even a low Archery skill, arrows will not penetrate their hard carapace; instead, archers will find that arrows will often deflect off theirs shells, though they still do damage.

DropsEdit

 * Mudcrab Chitin
 * Mudcrab LegsHF
 * Rarely drops gold.
 * Very rarely drops precious gems.
