Taxonomy

 * Order: Decipoda
 * Infraoder: Anomura
 * Superfamily: Hairy Crab
 * Family: Crinitaur

Habitat Range
Crinitaur lives in the Tarred Craters.

Ecological Niche
Crinitaur are omnivorous scavengers, feeding on plants, fruits, and carrion. Because they are juveniles, Crinitaur are quite low in the food chain, and are often eaten by larger predators that live in the Tarred Craters, such as Venatodus, Crambaldon, and Phaltarus.

Biological Adaptations
Crinitaur possesses a large, conical shell on its back to offer some protection, or used for hiding from larger predators. They have pincers used for grabbing and holding onto food.

Behavior
Crinitaur spend most of their time scavenging, but will retreat underground if they sense a disturbance such as a nearby predator or a hunter.
