Uca Crusher

The Uca Crusher is an Eldritch type and the Large enemy of the Cove. Whenever a unsuspecting ship trespasses on the sacred waters of the Pelagic creatures below, these hulking crustaceans use their powerful claws to pierce the ship's hull with ease and allows his brethren to enter sinking ship and feast on the unfortunate sailors as a source of food or raise their lifeless corpses for their own sinister purposes against any other brave or foolish sailor or hero alike who dare journey through their domain.

Behavior
Ucas don't do as much direct damage as the other Large enemies. However, their Tidal Slam ability has a higher than average critical chance, and will knock your front row heroes to the back of the line and stun them, effectively disabling melee focused units for several turns. Furthermore, while Arterial Pinch does very low damage, it causes massive bleeding: 8 damage a round in Veteran levels and 10 in Champion levels. With a high HP pool and PROT stat, Ucas take quite a while to kill - keep them stunned if possible, and hit them with blight attacks to bypass their armour.

Abilities
This enemy has no apprentice level.

Trivia
The word "Uca" comes from the species of crabs called uca pugilator, or sand fiddler crab. Much like the uca crusher, uca pugilators have one claw that is larger than the other, usually larger than its own body.
