Mine crabs, diminutive yet perilous scavengers, inhabited the underground regions of Artus Prime. Although they moved using three crab-like legs, their appearance differed from conventional crabs. Rather than having pincers, mine crabs were equipped with sizable mouths filled with pointed teeth. Their eyes were a combination of red and purple hues.
Due to their diminutive stature, mine crabs cooperated to overwhelm larger targets, including Humans. While individually weak, they compensated with their sheer numbers. Kyle Katarn directly encountered this phenomenon during his mission on Artus Prime for Mon Mothma. Subsequently, he observed a pit fight involving two of these creatures within Baruk's Bar on Nar Shaddaa.
