Giant Crayfish

Giant Crayfish is a Wildlife Creature in Elden Ring. Giant Crayfish are often found in shallow bodies of water such as those found in Liurnia of the LakesRegion. They have tough outer shells alongside a giant pincer arm adept at crushing prey and a needle arm for impaling any it chooses.

• A Grafted Scion that drops Larval Tear is disguised as a Giant Crayfish patrolling around the gazebo between Rose ChurchLandmark and Boilprawn ShackGrace.
