Overview[1]
30.6 hours (1.275 days) (with Gifted Vicious Bee) The Coconut Crab is a level 12 boss mob that defends the Coconut Field. It has 250,000 health and moves along the back wall of the Coconut Field. Like Tunnel Bear, chicks (besides the Commando Chick), Aphids, Wild Windy Bee and Puffshrooms, the player has a limited amount of time (two hours) to defeat it. After 2 hours, its health resets. The amount of time left can be found above its health. Unlike the Stump Snail and the Commando Chick, its health will not save, meaning it must be defeated without leaving the field.

Attacks
The Coconut Crab alternates between two attack types: Claw attack: The Coconut Crab will try and line itself up with the player, then proceed to jab quickly with its claws. Each hit deals 40 damage before Defense is applied. It will attack 7 times, then pause to move to where the player is standing and repeat it twice more, attempting to claw the player 21 times in total. Coconut attack: The Coconut Crab will move to the middle of the back wall. It will then jump up a total of 8 times, each jump causing 1 large coconut to fall into the field. Each coconut deals 150 damage before defense is applied. The first coconut to fall will always target the player, but the others will randomly fall around the field.
Drops
Note: Some of the quantity and the quality of rewards dropped depends on how fast it took to kill the crab.
Tips
Avoid making contact with the Coconut Crab's hitbox, as doing so will deal a large amount of damage. If your defense is too low, it may be lethal. The claw attack can be avoided by passing the Coconut Crab by walking or gliding as it moves closer. It will lock onto the player's position once the player is in front, wait for a moment, and jab its claws. If they continue moving, they will pass by the attack. Sometimes, the Crab may not stop in place and will continue to follow in the opposite direction. If this happens, it is often easiest to change direction and cross it once more. Using the Glider and gliding around the claws can allow players to dodge all hits from the claws and may get 1 or 2 hits from them. Do not stay in the middle of the field when the Coconut Crab's coconut attack is finished (unless the player has high movement speed), as the Crab will almost immediately begin its claw attack, resulting in massive damage. Avoid stepping outside the field while fighting, as this will reset the Coconut Crab's heatlh. Touching the walls of the Coconut Field can reset Coconut Crab's health occasionally. Having too much jump power may cause the player to exit the field's range vertically, thereby causing Coconut Crab to reset its health. It is possible to stand on the edge of the Coconut Field's walls and defeat the Coconut Crab from there due to a bug that allows players to. When the player jumps at the right time, they can avoid the falling coconut attack (right after its second jump hold space until the coconut falls on top).
Patch history
The Coconut Crab has the highest base level of any mob in the game, even surpassing Cave Monsters, which are level 11. The Coconut Crab has the third-highest base health out of all mobs, right behind the Mondo Chick at 300,000 health, and the Stump Snail at 30 million health. The Coconut Crab is the only boss mob that spawns in a cave (not including the Stump Snail as it is considered a mini-boss). The Coconut Crab is the only mob to deal enough damage instantly kill the player upon getting hit by its falling coconut or touching it. Stick Bug is the only one to rival this with its flailing sticks attack at higher levels. The Coconut Crab is based on the real-life equivalent "Birgus latro", more commonly known as the "Coconut Crab". The Coconut Crab is one of the fastest mobs in the game, second to Stick Bug in the later levels of its Stick Bug Challenge. The Coconut Crab is the largest mob in the game. The only thing to rival this mob would be a high-level Snowbear. The Coconut Crab is similar to the Stump Snail in the sense that it stops the player from easily grinding in their guarded fields without defeating the "guardian" of the said fields. The Coconut Crab is also the only mob that is protecting a shop. Defeating the Coconut Crab will allow the player to gain access to the Coconut Cave and will allow the player to farm in the Coconut Field with ease. According to Spirit Bear, the Coconut Crab isn't native to the game. It's an invasive species, accidentally brought in when she imported coconuts from far away.
