Training
Rock Crabs used to be commonly trained upon due to their high exp rewards; and occasional valuable drops, low combat level and defence. Most places where Rock Crabs reside used to be heavily crowded. Since the Evolution of Combat update, Rock Crabs are now level 102, making low-level training very difficult.

Locations

Classification
These animals are most likely, as the name suggests, a form of crab, noting that the rock crabs always walk sideways (and attack by smashing their sides into the player). It is possible that they may belong to a different animal phylum, such as insects, and only look like crabs, although this is not very likely. The animals are always spotted near water; while the graphics of RuneScape do not show them immersing themselves in water, it can be safely assumed that they would hypothetically do so. In the quest Fur n' Seek, the rock crab's carcass that is collected by the player consists of only a shell and other, not easily visible remnants.

Trivia

 * The examine for rock crabs is: "No-one likes crabs." This could be a reference to the parasite or a reference to grumpy people, as they are sometimes called "crabs".
 * The Fremennik used to eat them, as mentioned in the lore Twice Burnt, although players cannot cook them.
 * If a rock crab is killed in a small ditch a glitch will happen where the drop will be floating.
 * Rock crabs seem to be one of the earlier species of Gielinor being observed in the Second Age by Armadyl in his travels
