Individually, these tiny, 1-inch-diameter crustaceans are merely vicious, but in a group they can be deadly. Should anyone disturb their nest, they burst forth like angry army ants to cover a 10-foot-diameter area in 1 round. Any living thing caught within the swarm must make a successful saving throw vs. paralyzation or suffer 3d6 points of damage per round of contact; success reduces the damage to ld6 points per round. Any damage-producing area effect spell (excluding those based on heat or fire) kills all the crabs within its area of effect.Originally appeared in Return to White Plume Mountain (1999)</blockquote>
