'''Great Magma Crabs''' are powerful creatures found far down in the depths of Qud. As their name indicates, they are completely immune to [[heat]] and [[lava]], though they will still avoid moving through it due to their middling [[Attributes#Intelligence|intelligence]]. They also possess the ability to [[Cracked|crack]] [[armor]] that is not [[Sturdy]] with the player obsoleted Shattering Blows [[Skills and Powers|skill]], and can remove all the [[AV]] from most targets due to their enormous strength bonus. Unlike cracking caused by [[Cleave]], there is no limit on the duration of this effect.

Due to their high AV and the strength of their attacks, it is preferable to attack them with [[Ranged combat|ranged]] weapons or [[Explosions|explosives]]. Their [[MA]] is also subpar, making them vulnerable to [[Sunder Mind]] and [[Psionic]] weapons.

great magma crab

In its infancy, rock streamed through the planet in plumes of magma, spilled into hushed caverns, and quickened pools of protoplasm out of its stilled inertia. Plates slipped and matter was crushed, pressurized. Later, as entropy bore cracks into the crust, sticky lifethings fused to the rock and scuttled forth. In geological terms they are tiny things, but you insist that scale is the wrong one.

The great magma crab is a powerful creature belonging to the crabs faction, typically found deep underground. It can also be encountered in the lower levels of the Asphalt Mines.[1]

The great magma crab attacks in combat with it's \red-hot claw, a Cudgel weapon that deals ♥3d63-18 (Avg: 10.5) damage. Great magma crabs possess the Cudgel Proficiency, Dual Wield, and Flurry skills, as well as a unique skill known as Shattering Blows.[2] Shattering Blows grants the great magma crab a 10% chance to inflict the cleaved effect on it's targets per attack, applying the cracked effect to a random piece of their armor. This decreases the ♦AV bonus of the armor piece by 1, and can stack a number of times equal to the magma crab's Strength bonus.[3] This effect lasts for 2,000 rounds.[4]

Great magma crabs are completely immune to heat damage of any kind, as they possess a heat resistance of 100. They also possess an extremely high burning and vaporization temperature, equal to 99,999,999°.[2]

Finally, the great magma crab possesses two otherwise unobtainable mutations: Enhanced Skeleton and Kinetic Dampening. However, they currently serve no function.
