The Flak Crab is a Hardmode enemy that spawns during tiers 2 and 3 of the Acid Rain event. They disguise themselves as a geyser and will move around after taking damage. When disguised, it will shoot Flak Shots, which will inflict the Irradiated debuff.

Notes

  • The enemy itself does not have any contact damage, only the Flak Shot damages the player.

Trivia

  • The BestiaryBestiary entry for the Flak Crab: "Needing to hide themselves from the roaming creatures, flak crabs disguise themselves as the sulfurous gas vents scattered across the Sulphurous Sea. As they reproduce quickly, stumbling upon these and their offspring is a rather common occurrence."
  • This enemy is a reference to the Hermit Crab enemy from Risk of Rain 2.
  • The way Flak Crabs attack is a reference to the Aeroflak Cannon from Robocraft.
  • The Flak Crab's disguised state is tied with the Devil Fish's masked state for having the highest defense of any enemy in the mod.
