Carcinus

"Do not attempt to fight. Outspeed it and flee."

- Grimm Index Entry

Carcinus are a rare species of Grimm that inhabit large open bodies of water. With bone armor acting as a shell across the majority of its body, this Grimm is known for its resilience.

Physiology
Carcinus possess a crab-like form. Though they start small, over time they grow larger and larger. Bone armor runs across most of its body acting as a shell with very few openings, generally around the joints and organs.

Behavior
Carcinus are generally not an aggressive species. However, they have been known to hunt down lone ships out at sea that tend to stay in the same area for too long. The Grimm are able to swim, but normally are assumed to walk on the sea bed. They use their eye stalks to view above water much like a periscope.

Habitat
The Grimm is known only to exist in the vast oceans separating the continents of Remnant. Only a few have recorded sightings between Sanus and Anima.

Extermination
As of currently, there are no recorded official extermination of Carcinus. Though there have been several attempts, Huntsmen and Huntresses were lost in the oceans and the Grimm fled upon signs of great injury to itself. If one must face it, target the non-armored portions at its joints in hopes of slowing it down while fleeing. There has been no recorded cases of persistent chasing.
