Crabid is a recurring monster in the Dragon Quest series.

Characteristics[]

Crabids have a red carapace, yellow on the underside, arms, and legs. They have large eyes and even larger, gaping mouths lined with pointed teeth. A trail of drool can be seen on their lower jaw, seemingly suggesting that they carry the disease rabies, which would make sense in comparission to their name.
