Meet the Crabfolk
Along storm-lashed shores and barnacle-covered reefs, sailors whisper of clawed silhouettes rising from the surf—hulking shapes formed of shell, sinew, and brine. These are the Crabfolk, tideborn warriors of the deep. When they march, the ocean itself seems to shudder. When they hunger, entire fishing villages vanish beneath the waves.
Whether spawned from ancient curses, evolutionary mutation, deep-sea magic, or forgotten ocean gods, Crabfolk embody the raw brutality of marine survival. They strike fast, retreat faster, and leave only cracked ships and churned foam in their wake. For adventurers, encountering them is a heart-pounding mix of awe and terror.
This resin miniature set by Yasashii Kyojin Studio captures the full diversity of a Crabfolk war-band with four distinct poses, each reflecting a role or personality within the tideborn society. From towering bruisers to skulking scavengers, these creatures are ready to storm any shoreline in your TTRPG.
Designed with Yasashii Kyojin Studio
Each sculpt in this pack showcases a unique silhouette, personality, and battlefield purpose:
Tall Claw
This long-limbed Crabfolk looms over others in its tribe. Its stilt-like legs carry it swiftly through shallow water, allowing it to strike with deadly reach. Ideal as a scout, sentinel, or eerie skirmisher.
Big Claw
A brute dripping with shell-armor mass, the Big Claw exists purely for smashing. With a massive snapping claw capable of crushing shields and bones, this pose commands space on the battlefield and threatens any front-line adventurer.
Pack Claw
Smaller but scrappier, this pose suggests agility and relentless teamwork. Perfect for swarms, raiding groups, or fast-moving skittering ambushers. Pack Claws overwhelm their prey in chittering hordes.
Anchor Claw
Dragging an enormous anchor—possibly as a trophy, possibly as a weapon—this Crabfolk exudes menace. Whether it scavenged the anchor from a wreck or earned it in battle, this sculpt drips with maritime story potential. An excellent “miniboss” for coastal adventures.

From the Crafty Llama Tables
Salt spray fills the air as the tide retreats. The ranger spots movement among the rock pools—shadows skittering where none should be. Then the chittering begins, echoing across the gull-haunted cliffs.
A massive claw slams onto the shore. Another Crabfolk rises from the surf, dragging a rusted anchor with effortless strength. Smaller ones scuttle ahead, spears and broken driftwood at the ready.
The sea boils behind them.
The tideborn warriors have come ashore… and the coast will never be the same.
