Acamtemicti

The Acamtemicti (Megaluca terrestris), also known as the Murderer Crab, is a heavily-armored land-dwelling crab which is the apex predator of Cuiciloa. It uses its large, serrated claws to catch and masticate its prey, and sharp anterior legs to pierce the shells of eggs. Adults can reach the size of a small cat, and have been known to sever fingers, hands and toes with ease. Even though they are not herbivorous, Acamtemicti have a tendency to smash growing pumpkins (possibly due to their superficial resemblance to other Murderer Crabs) and are treated as a pest by the locals. Their meat is used in many Huitcan dishes.
