Description and lore
An armored shore creature braces on the shallows with heavy crushing pincers. Its shell and deliberate stance make a narrow landing feel occupied.
Drag marks cross the shallows toward a resting hollow. Chipped shell catches among the reeds and stones.
The pincers brace before the armored body moves. The narrow landing offers little room beside its deliberate weight.
