Hermit Crab

The Hermit Crab is a new ground-based Monster introduced in Risk of Rain 2 that looks and serves as a mortar.

Hermit Crabs are mostly found in Abyssal Depths, and will only start spawning in Titanic Plains after looping at least once, although their presence will be minimal until HAHAHAHA difficulty.

The Demons and The Crabs Challenge requires the player to chase 20 Hermit Crabs off the edge of the map for it to be completed.
