Heim crab

The Heim crab is a Tier 1 food used in the dungeoneering skill. It heals 20 life points in both free-to-play and members. A cooked heim crab can either be found on the table at the start or by killing monsters in the dungeon and receiving it as a drop. A Raw heim crab can be bought from the Smuggler. Other crabs in Daemonheim include the members only Tier 9 Blue crab, healing 220 Life Points and the Tier 6 Web Snipper, which heals 150 life points.

While progressing through a dungeon and if hurt, it is best to consume the Heim crabs first as they take up valuable inventory space but only heal 20 hitpoints compared to 50 by the Tier-2 Red-eye. This allows other, higher-healing fish to be put into the inventory. Alternatively, they can be sold to the Smuggler, but are of very little use in a boss fight. The Jagex mods like to make jokes about Heim crabs.

If at low supply in dungeons, it is useful to buy heim crabs and eat them. It is because it is most cost effective among dungeon foods for healing in safe situations.

If you only eat Heim crabs during a dungeon, you will get the title "I Can has Heim Crab?" a reference to the internet phrase "i can has cheezburger?"

The mysterious mages at the Yk'lagor the Thunderous' chamber are chanting: "Heim crabs are awesome" backwards. According to Yk'lagor himself, heim crabs taste like wizard.

If you try to use a heim crab on another player when their lifepoints reach 0 you will receive the message, "Not even the mighty heim crab can save (insert player name) from their fate!".

In Postbag from the Heim, it says that if you hold a Heim Crab up to your ear, you can hear the sea.

In Behind the Scenes - December Jagex quoted "Heim crabs are for life, not just for Christmas."

The word "heim" most likely comes from the word "DaemonHEIM". As Daemonheim means "Demon Home", "heim crab" may translate into "Home crab".

If you try to use a Heim Crab on another player when their lifepoints are full, it says, "As tasty as Heim Crabs are, [Player's name] has full lifepoints.
