A distant relative of the common Ussal, the Zakaz Spiny Crab is a species of rahi found on the island which gives it its name.
It is unclear if the many spikes and spines that cover its exoskeleton are an adaptation to its craggy homeland or are a result of deliberate genetic mutation, but they are used by the crab for defensive purposes.
More ominously, the claws of the crab seem to resemble a pair of decapitated Skakdi heads. This is also of dubious origin, and could either be camouflage into a land seeped in death or a threat display.
Skakdi often hunt these creatures when more threatening opponents aren’t available, but are not highly valued as trophy kills due to their slow and solitary lifestyle. A quite uninteresting adversary.
