    I think the most surprising thing to me is that it left its gills behind in its old shell. Imagine having to grow a whole new pair of lungs every time you have a growth spurt.

    Patch Notes
    -------------------
    Max HP - Increased
    DEF/Armor -Decreased
    Attack Power - Decreased
    Movement Speed - Decreased
    HP Regen - Increased
    EXP Gain per Level - Increased
    Temporary nerf, but will ultimately be a net buff after farming some EXP and leveling up, as long as it's able to avoid higher level PvP players until it completely regens.
    Overall, still a decent class to play, but I do worry about it's performance in the current meta since it does not appear to be playing on an aquatic server at the moment.

    FYI it can't do this faster as the new exoskeleton (aka the soon-to-be new shell underneath the old one) is still soft and slightly gelatinous. Once it hits air it hardens right up (which is why some crabs like to do this whole thing whilst outside of the water)but either way, when the crab's body is ready it will send out a kind or lumphatic fluid between the older layer and new layer

      Yes!! It took me a full minute to understand that the living crab wasn't the one toward us! I was horrified because I saw the eyes moving on what I thought were the remains, and it also looked like it didn't have a roof and that the internal organs were pulsing!!
      The crab legs seems very soft (which seems necessary to squeeze out of the previous shell) but I wonder how much time it takes for everything to harden. It must be a very vulnerable situation for the individual
      Edit : just saw another comment that said it takes weeks

    Notice how the crab is all soft and fleshy during molting process. This is so it can wriggle out from its rigid exoskeleton. It's basically shelling itself, just without the steaming and the butter part.

    • @secondsein7749

      This is actually how they regrow their limbs inclusing claws. They have to molt so that the new arms can take place.
      In fact, this is the method for softshell crab farming. They cut the claws, forcing the crab to molt, then they catch it while their shell is still soft.

I guess looking them for some long I always felt they were just one thing that grew just like anything else. Until I later learned that spiders also do this as well as other types of insects and some animals. But never saw a crab. Then again with all the horseshoe crabs I've seen all through my life, there was something there I learned but couldn't figure it out yet.
