Vicegrip. The crabstrosity can have the same target grappled by both claws. When a creature makes a check to break free of the crabstrosity’s grapple, it is freed from both claws on a success. A target grappled by both claws is considered restrained.

Powerful Claws. Creatures may target the crabstrosities claws individually. The large claw has 75 hit points and AC 15 while the small claw has 50 hit points and AC

1. If either claw takes more than 25 points of damage in a single round, it will release any creature it is currently grappling. When the claw is reduced to 0 hit points, it falls limply to the ground and can no longer attack.
