This enemy has the same moveset from its appearance in Dark Souls 3. They can no longer burrow underground and are much easier to fight, especially on horseback. Their breath attack can have varying effects, from a mist that builds Sleep, to a breath that can build up Death Blight. Oddly enough, the maggot-infested zombie Giant Crab's spit attack does not have a Poison buildup, but just does physical damage, like the normal, living, red-eyed Giant Crab. The Death Blight inflicting Giant Crabs in the Capital OutskirtsRegion are found directly above Godwyn's Corpse in Deeproot DepthsGrace. It's possible that these Giant Crabs actually feed on Deathroot, as some land crabs in real life eat tree roots. The Silver Crabs are possibly hinted to be man-made, judging by their Japanese name translating to homunculus, similar to the Albinaurics It could explain their recurring appearance in Raya Lucaria and the Consecrated SnowfieldGrace, due to the presence of Albinaurics, and could possibly explain how they could cause Sleep.
