A crab is a (typically) small crustacean that is often found on beaches. Crabs have high armor, as the shell would imply. Crabs are typically neutral and ignore passers-by. They drop claws and meat that are used in cooking recipes (e.g., 
[Crawler Meat] for making Crab Cakes). Crabs are found in Durotar, The Barrens, Darkshore, Westfall, Blackfathom Deeps, Ashenvale, Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, Azuremyst Isle and the Swamp of Sorrows. They are usually found along the coastline in some watery zones. Sometimes, they may appear as critters. One can even find tiny red lava crabs scuttling about in the Searing Gorge and Burning Steppes. Crabs are not skinnable. Crabs will also appear in Wrath of the Lich King (after mostly being ignored in The Burning Crusade); one example is Kili'ua.

As a Hunter pet
- Not very popular as a Hunter Pet. Their low profile makes them ideal for scouting in groups.
- There is a special Crab on the shores of Azuremyst Isle that can use Thorns buff. If the Crab buffs itself with Thorns, taming it will also get one's new Pet the ability. Note that a Horde character taming this beast will not get the ability. *Note* This pet ability have been removed in a patch.
