Hermit crab chathead

The hermit crab is a pet that may rarely be caught while fishing crystal urchins during Prifddinas Waterfall Fishing. It goes straight to the inventory when caught, and catching it is signified by the chat message: "You find a hermit crab!" Like most pets, it may be stored in the Menagerie. While they will not run away when starved, they can optionally be fed with any type of raw fish.

Shells

Unlike most pets, the hermit crab may be customised to a degree by giving it various different items to use as a shell. Different shells may be bought using crystal urchin points at Mhistyll's Prifddinas Waterfall Fishing Shop, including:
