Clackers are very closely related to crabs, having a hard exoskeleton, which gives them protection and makes them very robust. Their two front limbs are tipped with razor-sharp blades, which can be used to inflict serious damage on anyone who comes within range, but they are generally harmless if you keep your distance. They are named for the sound they produce with their legs. Clacker legs have been at times fashioned into crude tools, and their meat is considered edible, though an 'acquired taste'. They are one of the few omnivorous insects.
- Appearance
- An insect-like creature resembling an over-sized hermit crab.

- Fairly stupid and not a serious threat to the experienced.
- Natural Habitat
- The arena has a fairly large population of these, but mainy can be found in the sewers and dungeons throughout Yliakum. Clackers are sometimes hunted for their meat, which is used to prepare many flavourful dishes.
