[edit] Overview
[edit] Extended Description
Fire Crabs are mentioned only in passing in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, where a story written about Hagrid by Rita Skeeter suggested that the Blast-Ended Skrewts that he was raising looked to be unauthorized cross-breeds between Fire Crabs and Manticores.
From Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, we learn that fire crabs are commonly mistaken for turtles with jewel-encrusted shells. Fire crab shells can also be used as cauldrons.
