      @@Crownerasedin a way he’s not wrong. If they put it back in the water with no shell it’ll be eaten very quickly by a fish or other marine life because it’s not in a hole to protect itself. Also those orange slice looking things are his old gills and his new ones need the water so the crab is just suffocating and drying out.

    Patch Notes
    -------------------
    Max HP - Increased
    DEF/Armor -Decreased
    Attack Power - Decreased
    Movement Speed - Decreased
    HP Regen - Increased
    EXP Gain per Level - Increased
    Temporary nerf, but will ultimately be a net buff after farming some EXP and leveling up, as long as it's able to avoid higher level PvP players until it completely regens.
    Overall, still a decent class to play, but I do worry about it's performance in the current meta since it does not appear to be playing on an aquatic server at the moment.

  • @sophroniel
    @sophroniel 10 месяцев назад +358

    FYI it can't do this faster as the new exoskeleton (aka the soon-to-be new shell underneath the old one) is still soft and slightly gelatinous. Once it hits air it hardens right up (which is why some crabs like to do this whole thing whilst outside of the water)but either way, when the crab's body is ready it will send out a kind or lumphatic fluid between the older layer and new layer

    I never knew crabs can do this. I knew they can grow new claws but never nearly half of their body. It regrows some it's organs as well. I take it the lungs were new. Mind-blowing 🦀🤯

    • @secondsein7749
      @secondsein7749 10 месяцев назад +13

      This is actually how they regrow their limbs inclusing claws. They have to molt so that the new arms can take place.
      In fact, this is the method for softshell crab farming. They cut the claws, forcing the crab to molt, then they catch it while their shell is still soft.

    I knew this. Had seen it on a video from Sir David Attenborough.
    After the molt the crab is very vulnerable for weeks his new shell is not hard enough to withstand any predators so he keeps it very low key for that time period.
    Interesting video. 👍🏻👏🏻

      Yes!! It took me a full minute to understand that the living crab wasn't the one toward us! I was horrified because I saw the eyes moving on what I thought were the remains, and it also looked like it didn't have a roof and that the internal organs were pulsing!!
      The crab legs seems very soft (which seems necessary to squeeze out of the previous shell) but I wonder how much time it takes for everything to harden. It must be a very vulnerable situation for the individual
