rustacean

Its shell is the color of air-sucked iron. It waves a monstrous claw in hostility, and blood-crusted rust flakes are shaken free of their serrated home.

Perfect

The rustacean is a creature in the Crabs faction. It can be found in the Rust Wells, but can also appear in the same locations as eyeless crabs and alongside eyeless king crabs. Despite its name, it is unable to rust metal equipment. Instead, it possesses the Shattering Blows skill, which cracks armor for 2000 rounds.

Shattering Blows

This section is an excerpt from Shattering Blows#Mechanics.

Shattering Blows grants the attacker a 10% chance to inflict one of the following effects with each cudgel attack:[1]

  • If the target is the player, a longer-duration version of the cracked effect on one random piece of the player's equipment.
  • If the target is not the player, or if the player has AV greater than 0, a longer-duration version of the cleaved effect.
    • The player typically only has AV greater than 0 if they have intrinsic AV, such as AV granted from the Calloused skill.

Both effects last for 2000 turns[2], which is longer than a full day in game. Both effects can also stack, leading either to cracked pieces of equipment with a greater than -1 AV penalty, and/or to a cleaved effect on the player/creature with a greater than -1 AV penalty.

In extreme cases, such as a historic site filled with rustaceans, it is completely plausible for a player to get reduced to 0 AV for a long period of time due to this effect. For example, a player with the Calloused skill might have all of their equipment cracked down to 0 AV, as well as a -3 or -4 penalty from a cleaved effect directly applied to themselves.
