Rock Crab

Rock crabs are aggressive monsters that look like harmless rocks while they are sleeping, and wake up and attack unsuspecting players that pass by. These monsters are quite popular training monsters, because of their low combat level and high hitpoints. Rock crabs are also a good source of gold charms for lower level players.

Most rock crabs are located in Multi-combat areas, making them good targets for cannons. However, many players consider cannons to be a form of kill stealing.

It should be noted that, unlike other enemies and NPCs, rock crabs are not marked with yellow dots on the minimap. This is probably due to the fact that the crabs' appearance camouflages them as rocks.

Tips
Easy Multi-tasking While you do homework on the computer you can train your skills on runescape at the same time with rock crabs. Rock crabs are aggressive, they pop up out of the ground and attack. (only for 10-15 minutes). All you need to do for this technique is just go next to a space where rock crabs spawn. When they spawn they will automatically attack you and you will attack them back automatically. (make sure "auto-retaliate" is on) That way you can minimize runescape and do something at the same time. :)
