Editing Rock Crabs (section)

== Habits ==
The crabs usually hide in their shells, looking like lone boulders, and only show their appendages when some prey has come near enough to easily grab; then they rely on their two pincers to inflict wounds or snap off body parts.<ref name="ch1.02" /> They are described as solitary hunters and favor to hunt solitary prey as well, using several strategies:
* Sitting still while an unsuspecting prey moves close, then attack with surprisingly fast movements.<ref name="ch1.02" />
* Slowly advancing while still staying hidden, then attack once close enough.<ref name="ch1.02" />
* Following their prey on short distances, dragging their shell with them. If such a hunt proved unsuccessful, they return to their base.<ref name="ch1.02" />

They avoid settlements, but occasionally attack lone houses.<ref name="ch1.18" />

They don't travel much in the late autumn, as opposed to other seasons.<ref name="ch1.20">[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/10/05/1-20/ Chapter 1.20]</ref> On the other hand, the spring is [[Liscor]]'s rainy season and then they are able to hunt aggressively. The noise that often gives them away is covered up by the constant rains, so they can hunt more effectively.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/07/21/5-03/ Chapter 5.03]</ref>

They change their shell once a year.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/07/10/9-05-npr/ Chapter 9.05 NPR]</ref>
