Granite crab

The Granite crab is a level 16 Summoning familiar. It is summoned using a Granite crab pouch. The Granite crab can be used for the following things:


 * Combat: it has a combat level of 26 and provides defence experience when it deals damage. In addition, its scroll Stony Shell provides a temporary 5% boost to a player's Defence when activated.
 * Fishing: it increases your fishing level by 1. However, this boost is invisible, and can be used to catch a fish 1 level higher than yours (example: You can use the granite crab to catch shark at level 75 fishing). Because of this ability, the Granite crab is fairly popular among low levelled fishers.
 * Forager: While the player is fishing, this familiar can produce cod, pike, seaweed, and oysters. It can hold up to 30 of its foraged items in its own inventory.

Trivia

 * The examine info is a reference to a common phrase from Superman: "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Superman!"
 * One of the things the Granite crab says is "Free fish please". This is a reference to poor or low-levelled players asking for free food or money, commonly known as begging.
