POV: I forgot I added a super fast giant mudcrab that can kill you in one hit and pursues you constantly right outside of the starting sewer in Oblivion.

Happy TES 30th! I will share a drawing soon but for now, I have questions.

One day, while bothering mudcrabs for alchemy writs in ESO I thought "wait I had this guy with chili garlic sauce what's he doing in Skyrim" and have not looked back since.

I'm sure someone has already explored crab biology in TES but I constantly wonder why the dominant crab of Skyrim and the whole of Tamriel is the humble mudcrab, beloved Southeast Asian food mascot, alimango of mangroves in warm Indo-Pacific waters. In general, these are crabs belonging to the Scylla genus, with Scylla serrata in the picture beside an ESO mudcrab.

(Picture: Pincer, Old Salty, and the Mudcrab guardian spirit, some of Skyrim's named mudcrabs. Images from UESP)

I don't know what's going on with Old Salty's shell, but there was a still a deliberate choice to include a mudcrab with big claws, small legs, and a wide, domed shell in both Skyrim and ESO. I suspect the mudcrab holds some semi-terrestrial charm along with the impressive claws that leggy crabs don’t really have, and I am tickled at the abundant SEasian representation in TES. I am also delighted that, like my family members around a crab, the citizens of Skyrim are able to devour abundant mouthfuls of meat from mudcrab claws.

Do you see your local crab in Tamriel? Feel free to share crab and mudcrab thoughts! Happy TES day!

...

Addendum: I am not a crab expert and do not know what Oblivion's and Morrowind's mudcrabs are. These are entirely different genera of crab. I suspect Oblivion's is some pelagic crab and Morrowind's is some box crab (Calappa) with the claws oriented strangely.

(id: Oblivion mudcrab, Morrowind mudcrab)

Crabs also get very diverse with the special crabs, including Clatterclaw, Titanclaw, and other named crab bosses. Also, there can be no discussion of crabs without Skar. RIP Skar, you are an icon and I have no idea what you are supposed to be.

(id: Skar in ESO, Skar in Morrowind)

Hello╰(*°▽°*)╯ Today I quickly painted a watercolor of my dream, in it I was on a beger of some lake, and there was a mudcrab from Skyrim, he looked at me so scary ^_____^ I don’t know if it’s possible to find a similar place in Skyrim itself, but I’ll try to find something remotely similar(. ❛ ᴗ ❛.)

Mudcrabs are just little guys they've made an appearance in every game since morrowind. There seem to be different forms or adaptations depending on where you are but they are all essentially the same thing.

Mudcrabs generally aren't dangerous unless they get into large groups or get a taste of human or livestock meat. They use mud and rocks to camouflage themselves and hide and live near water sources. Their chitin is used for armor as seen in morrowind and skyrim.

This topic was requested by @springnutria

Also I have a little doodle I did a while back of a little mud crab since this was a short post 🥰
