Sand Crab

Behavior
The Sand Crab will be one of the first enemies you encounter if you start on the Dried Lake. They function very similar to Golems and will approach you somewhat slowly, then pause for a moment only to make an attempt to crush you with massive claws. This deals a fairly large amount of damage. Their high health will make them a nuisance to engage early on.

Tactics

 * They're slow enough to outrun. Keep your distance and turn around occasionally to attack back.
 * When they pause to attack, you can interrupt them with certain moves like stuns, and other basic attacks like the Loader's Knuckleboom, or HAN-D's HURT. This allows you to stun-lock them and defeat even large groups without taking damage.
 * Since they can't jump and need to be practically on top of you to attack, they can be beaten simply by being on a higher elevation or by shooting them from across a gap.
