Counter Magic: When targeted, directly or indirectly, by a spell or spell-like effect, use the Int/Kno pool to "parry" in the same manner as mêlée. Only countered dice are blocked; there is no magical equivalent to a Hit.

Giant Crustaceans
Unless otherwise stated above the movement rates are for movement in the water.
Crab: What's to say? It's a giant crab.
Crab, Hermit: Solitary and reclusive. Would rather avoid a fight than engage, especially if without a shell (Defense 2).
Crab, Gregarious: Found in groups of at least ten.
Crab, King: The king of crabs. Will be surrounded by twenty or more Giant Crabs acting as bodyguards.
Crab, Land: Crabs that live on land, not sea.
Crab, Air: How they fly is still anyone's guess.
Crab, Fire: Reside in magma chambers and lava flows. For every attack die a Fire Crab fully blocks, the attacker suffers 1 Wound that counts as 2 Wounds for the purposes of healing. 
Crab, Dungeoness: Three guesses. (And yes, it's a pun.)
Crab, Mole: Living in tide pools and sandy beaches, the Mole Crab burrows into the sand/gravel and lie in wait to ambush unwary victims.
Crab, Robber: A land crab that, when it takes a fancy to something, and it always takes a fancy to a character's something, will fight to keep that keep that something. 
Crayfish: A freshwater crustacean.
Lobster: Two large claws, four smaller claws, and a big, crunchy tail.
Lobster, Rock: A lover, not a fighter. The Rock Lobster, so-called because of it's penchant to bob rhythmically from side to side, often accompanied with clacking of it's fore-claws, will approach groups and gatherings on the beach and check out what's happening. If attacked, the Rock Lobster will run away, only attacking if cornered.
Scampi; Shrimp; Shrimp, Jumbo; Prawn: Giant version of Scampi/Shrimp/Prawns doing scampy/shrimpy/prawny things.
