Shieldshears

In-game Description

Alpha

A freshwater shell-dweller found primarily in Cleigne. Manipulating its ponderous pincers requires the shieldshears to build burly muscle beneath its heavy shell, resulting in a succulent dish which many diners have heaped praise (and butter) upon.

Size: 12.73 ft. Weight: 2.56 t

Beta

A shieldshears native to the arid atmosphere of the Leide region. Its sturdy shell protects it from the dry desert heat and from hungry predators. Though it occasionally wanders away from the water, it inevitably returns to rehydrate from time to time.

Size: 13.45 ft. Weight: 2.97 t

Gamma

A shieldshears situated deep within Daurell Caverns. The crustacean has adapted to the hostile climes by adopting a curious means of self-rehydrating in which water expelled gently from the mouth washes back over the body and is eventually reabsorbed through the legs. Unlike its superterranean brethren, this crab does everything in its power to avoid unnecessary conflict around the watering hole it calls home.
