Monsters: Crab People
There's several humanoid crab races in D&D and Pathfinder. Yurian (also known as aldani in the Forgotten Realms setting) from Fiend Folio seems to be an update of the crabman from 1e Fiend Folio, judging by the almost identical descriptions. Crucian is a more humanlike crabfolk species that appears in Sandstorm and Miniatures Handbook. Karkinoi is a brutish crab monster from Bestiary 4 for Pathfinder. Karkanaks are interesting crab people from the third-party Cerulean Seas setting for Pathfinder (that setting is great, I highly recommend checking it out - I'm going to steal a lot of content from it). And there's also Sartani from the Al-Qadim setting. Karkanaks and crucians can be used as expensive racial templates for PCs.
Yurian [Fiend Folio, page 198]
Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM+1.
Advantages: Amphibious [10]; Chameleon 1 [5]; DR 3 [15]; Doesn’t Breathe (Gills, -50%) [10]; Infravision [10]; Injury Tolerance (No Neck) [5]; Peripheral Vision (Easy to Hit, -20%) [12]; Pressure Support 1 [5]; Reduced Consumption 2 (Cast-Iron Stomach, -50%) [2]; Regrowth [40]; Speak Underwater [5].
Pincers [26]: Extra Mouth 2 (Accessibility, Only to opt for a free grapple on a pincer hit, -60%; Link, +10%) [5] + 2 x Striker (Pincer; Cutting; Link, Extra Mouth, +10%) [8] + Good Grip 1 [5].
Disadvantages: Cold-Blooded (50°) [-5]; Short Arms [-10]; Short Lifespan 2 [-20]; Weak Bite [-2].
Perks: Burrower [1].

Pincer (12): thrust 1d+2 cutting (KYOS: 2d+1 cutting), Reach C-1. The yurian can either nip and let go or hold on and grapple the victim in addition to injuring him. Either is an attack that takes full hit location penalties – not halved for grappling. Treat this attack as a bite for these purposes (see Teeth on page 115 of GURPS Martial Arts for details). The pincers give +2 with tasks that require a firm grip (including climbing).

Em-hem, needs to be said, "Crab people, Crab people. Taste like crab, talk like people."
ReplyDeleteI am creating my own crab people for an After the End campaign, so I'm reading your work for references. Could you explain your line of thought for giving them extra mouth plus pincer for the pincers?
ReplyDeleteThe main idea was to have a natural weapon that can deal damage and grapple at the same time. By default, only bites can do that in GURPS, so I linked together a Natural Weapon and Extra Mouth limited in a way that only lets it apply a "free" grapple after an attack. So, you can't eat, drink, or speak through the pincers. Now, you can have a crab use its pincer to grapple somebody, deal damage at the same time, and then it can even squeeze for automatic damage on subsequent turns (just like worrying works with bites).
