  • Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +10 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (1d12 + 6) bludgeoning damage plus 14 (4d6) fire damage.

About

A massive crab with a square-shaped reddish-brown carapace covered with dark-red and yellow markings scuttles forth, pincers raised. Tiny flames lick its body, erupting at irregular intervals from its underbelly. Its eyes are perched on the end of two large eyestalks that protrude from the center of the carapace.
