With a name like theirs, these colossal crustaceans were kind of railroaded into antagonism by a society that didn’t want to understand them. Would it surprise you to learn that Giant Enemy Crabs have an entire culture of their own? Schools of philosophy? Arts and education? Bigotry truly is a sad, sad thing.
— Ars Gouda, p. 57

Giant Enemy Crab is an enemy that appears in Gallo Tower and Boss Rash. It only appears as a boss and has a chance to drop a Treasure Chest. Defeating Giant Enemy Crab in Gallo Tower is the requirement for unlocking the stage's hyper mode.

Behavior[]

Giant Enemy Crab's health is based on the player's level and it takes reduced knockback. It is also resistant to freeze, instant kill and debuffs. Giant Enemy Crab has 2 Pincers attached to it, which grow upon receiving damage and can regenerate a short while after being destroyed, up to 17 times.

In Gallo Tower, it can also summon a Drowner, if the player spends longer than 6 seconds below it, and the chest dropped by it can exceptionally evolve up to 5 weapons, provided that a higher tier chest with enough rewards was received.

In Boss Rash, Giant Enemy Crab has slightly lower health and speed.
