Crab

Where to catch the Crab

The Crab lives in Ocean (zone 5 of 17), in the front part of the zone. It is number 1 of 9 in the Ocean index. A full-strength throw needs roughly 720 – 880 Throw Power to land in Ocean.

Foods that land here: Croissant ($650M), Chocolate ($3.2B). A higher-tier food pushes the roll toward the rarer end of the Ocean list, so the newest food you own is always the best bait.

Any throw that lands in the front part of the zone can produce it. If you are hunting it for the index, lower your throw strength with the gear icon until the food lands on that spot – distance inside a zone decides which animals can come.

Is it worth keeping?

• A plain Crab earns 1.3x a plain Gorilla, the best animal from Jungle.
• The best plain earner here is the Seal ($62M/s), 31x this one.
• The first animal in Mountains, the Llama, makes 100x as much – once your throws reach Mountains, replace it.
• Keep it longer only if it rolled a strong mutation or size (see the table below) or you need it for the index.

Crab income by mutation and size

A plain Crab makes $2M/s. Mutations and sizes multiply that number, and the two stack. The table below multiplies the plain income by the multipliers I have measured (Gold ×1.5, Diamond ×3, Emerald ×5, Ruby ×10, Rainbow ×20; Big ×2, Large ≈×4.3, Huge ≈×9, Colossal ≈×18.5, Gigantic ≈×37). Treat the size columns as estimates – real catches land a little above or below. With the 2x Cash gamepass every number doubles.

Real catch cards. Odds are the “1 in …” number the card shows, which already includes the luck of that throw.
