The SendingStone review

The Giant Crab, with its unaligned alignment and low charisma and intelligence stats, is not particularly exciting as a creature in Dungeons and Dragons. Its passive perception of 9 and claw attack with a +3 bonus are its only noteworthy features. With a challenge rating of only 1/8, it is not a formidable opponent and would likely pose little challenge for a group of adventurers. Overall, the Giant Crab seems more like a filler creature than an essential addition to any D&D campaign.
