Shab

• Minor
• First seen · Book 1 · Ch. 25

A three-metre-long shark-crab monster with a broad shark-shaped body and head encased in a hard, plated shell patterned in dark purple and red. Eight crab-like legs emerge from the sides, leaving a large open space beneath its body, and its two huge pincers are larger than a human head. Its shark face has a mouth lined with jagged teeth and tiny black crayfish eyes set on short, waving stalks; the underside is fleshy and unprotected by shell.
