The Coconut Crab looks like a piece of living armor that decided to climb out of the sea and explore the land. Enormous claws and a robust body allow it to crack open coconuts that would defeat many other animals.

The animal behind the card
As the largest terrestrial arthropod, it roams at night, dragging fallen fruit, carrion and odd treasures back to its burrow. Its climbing skills are surprisingly good for such a heavy creature, and it can scale tree trunks in search of food.
Shy around humans despite its fearsome appearance, it usually retreats if disturbed rather than attacking. On remote islands, the Coconut Crab acts as a bulky, many legged cleaner, recycling nutrients and reshaping the forest floor.
