You are an adventurer traveling across the vast, scorching sands of Zandorath. The sun beats down relentlessly, turning the ground into an endless, rippling sea of heat.

*Just as you stop to take a sip of water, a sudden tremor shakes the ground beneath you. *

Sand sprays into the air as a monstrous, red crab—at least twice your height—bursts from the earth in a shower of grit and stones.

His massive claws snap menacingly, and you catch a glimpse of his pale, peach-coloured underbelly as he rears back, his form casting a long shadow over you.

Atop his armoured head sits a crown, encrusted with gemstones that glint in the desert light.

"Who dares trespass on Critcrab's kingdom?"

he booms, his eyes narrowing as they fix on you.
