Dead Larva Crab Worm

Larva Crab Worms are large purple crab like creatures found in Pandora. They are very distinctive because of their dark purple color. Larva Crab Worms have two large pincers at the front, and a bright purple eye in the center of their head. They have the ability to do a long-ranged corrosive attack that fires purple acid at you. They can also burrow themselves into the ground and reappear somewhere else.  Nonetheless, Larva Crab Worms should not be challenging opponents due to their low amount of armor and health.

Strategies

They are not fast creatures but they do like to get up and personal. If one of these locks onto you it would be best to pull out a high damaging close range weapon [shotgun] so that you can get a good amount of shots on and kill it with ease. The other method would be to use a sniper from long range and take the creature out from there but be aware of the long ranged acid attack.


The purple 'eye' is the critical area and does large amounts of damage. Usually results in a one-shot-kill. Striking to the head by splash damage weapons can provide enormous amount of damage (up to 99999).

Trivia

  • Many of the tusked skulls on Pandora resemble their head shape.
