Crabking Claw

Based on game build 714014 | Last updated: 2026-03-04

Overview​

The crabking_claw prefab implements a boss minion for the Crab King, functioning as a mobile, ocean-restricted combatant. It uses a custom brain (SGcrabkingclaw state graph) and integrates with multiple components to handle physics, movement, targeting, and loot. It spawns a linked shadow entity and features a custom teleportation override that ensures it only reappears in swimmable ocean areas.

Usage example​

-- The crabking_claw is instantiated automatically during the Crab King fight.
-- To spawn manually in a mod:
local claw = SpawnPrefab("crabking_claw")
if claw then
    claw.Transform:SetPosition(x, y, z)
    claw.crabking = some_crabking_entity
end
