Coconut Crab

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, and Puffshrooms, the player has a limited amount of time (two hours) to defeat it before its health resets. The amount of time left can be found above its health.
Unlike the Stump Snail, its health will not save, meaning it must be defeated without leaving the Field. If the player leaves, its health and the timer will reset and it will go back inside the Coconut Cave. Once defeated, it will take 36 hours (1.5 days) or 30 hours and 36 minutes (1.275 days) if the player has a Gifted Vicious Bee to respawn.
The loot it drops is scattered around the field, similar to a Sprout's drops and the Mondo Chick's drops. However, only the player who has defeated their own Coconut Crab can see and pick up the tokens. A Token Link can also be used to pick up the tokens, along with the Windy Bee's Tornado, Vector Bee's Triangulate, or Precise Bee's Target Practice. The quality, quantity, and rarity of the items dropped vary depending on the time taken to defeat the Coconut Crab, similar to the Mondo Chick. But even if you kill it in a slow time the drops you get can still be rare.
== 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 standing directly in between the Coconut Crab's claws. However, the claws may glitch or be off-center, allowing the claws to deal damage to the player. 
**Another way to avoid the claw attack is passing the Coconut Crab by walking or gliding as it moves closer. It will lock on once the player is in front, but 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 a 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 touching the walls of the Coconut Field, as the Coconut Crab's health will reset occasionally if this is done. 
**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). 
*** Having too much jump power i.e. Bear Morph + Beekeeper's Boots or higher will cause the player to exit the field's range vertically, thereby causing Coconut Crab to reset and its hp to replenish.
*Just like Stump Snail, having bees that have a high attack and/or are specialized in attacking, such as Rage Bee, Spicy Bee, Lion Bee, Precise Bee and Vicious Bee will be necessary to quickly defeat the Coconut Crab. 
**Be sure to also have Music Bees and other bees who produce Focus tokens for Critical Chance/Power, as they will also play a major role.
**Bees with the Token Link ability are recommended to collect tokens that are in high-risk areas.
**Activating all 3 Targets or getting shot by Precise Bee's Target Practice will collect all tokens.
*Own certain gifted bees: 
**The Gifted Looker Bee grants +25% critical power and Gifted Tabby Bee grants +50% critical power.
**The Gifted Brave Bee grants +1 bee Attack while the Gifted Rage Bee grants 10% bee attack.
**The Gifted Commander Bee grants +3% Critical Chance.
**The Gifted Precise Bee grants +3% Super-Crit Chance.
**ALL gifted bees deal ×1.5 more damage.
*Before fighting the Crab, collect Focus tokens first on the Pepper Patch. Once the player has a ×10 stack of focus, jump immediately to the Coconut Field. 
**Players can also collect a Melody token (if possible without losing the focus stack) for more critical power, making the focus tokens much more effective.
**If the player owns a Precise Bee, try and stack Precision to increase Super-Crit chance.
**Stand behind the Coconut Tree farthest from the Coconut Cave and closest to Spirit Bear. The Crab gets stuck and cannot move. This gives the bees a better opportunity to defeat the Crab.
*Level bees up to Level 12 or higher. Bees with a lower level than the mob will most likely miss when they attack. Bees with levels much lower than the level of the mob will have a higher chance of missing their attacks on the mob. Bees with an equal level or higher than the mob will never miss.
*Using a Stinger gives a ×1.5 Bee Attack buff for 30 seconds. 
** If owned, using 3 stingers will activate Star Saw which will deal damage to the Coconut Crab and collect tokens that would be dangerous to collect otherwise.
*Since the Coconut Crab has a large hitbox, using coconuts has a good chance of hitting it and dealing large amounts of damage. 
** The Coconut Crab drops many coconuts, so the player will most likely get all of their used coconuts back.
*Using Oil gives ×1.2 to both Player Movespeed and Bee Movespeed for 10 minutes, which helps bees attack faster and helps the player in avoiding the claw and coconut attacks.
*Using a Tropical Drink gives +5% critical chance for 10 minutes, which increases critical chance.
*The Demon Mask or Fire Mask are recommended to defeat bosses like Coconut Crab as their passives and bonuses allow the player to get higher attack damage. 
**If owned, try equipping Coconut Clogs or Gummy Boots for an extra 5% and 10% Bee Attack each respectively.
**If the player only has the Gummy Mask equipped, they can still trigger Gummy Morph to temporarily increase their Gummy Bee's attack by using Gumdrops. The Gummy Mask also increases bee ability rate, which can be useful for defeating the Coconut Crab.
*Green jelly beans give +3% critical chance for 1 minute. If the player can collect 3 green jelly beans, it will give a +5% critical chance total.
*A player with the Coconut Canister equipped can intentionally activate the Emergency Coconut Shield which grants ×1.25 Bee Attack and 100% Defense for 10 seconds.
* Owning a Cub Buddy while fighting the Coconut Crab can be beneficial as they can collect tokens even in the Coconut Crab or in front of a Coconut Crab attack.
*(Only during Beesmas Events) Using Onett's Lid Art, Gummy Beacon, Honeyday Candles, and Wreath (after completing Honey Bee's Beesmas quest) grants extra bees to help the player defeat the Crab.
*The timer is very lenient, even for a player who just got to the 35 Bee Zone. However, it would most likely be a tight timer if the player doesn't own the Vicious Bee.
*Having Nectars like Invigorating Nectar grants x1.01 - 1.1 Bee Attack and Motivating Nectar for 1% - 5% Bee Ability Rate.
*If the crab is lagging, try moving opposite the crab to the other side of the field. If it is doing its Coconut Attack, then move to the corner of the field to avoid getting hit by one. However, sometimes the coconut may hit the corner of the field, so the player must keep moving around until they find an empty space in the field.
* Standing half-side in the field and half-side out can cause the crab to go left and right constantly and can't attack. Be aware that any more into the field can cause it to start attacking and any less will cause it to run back to the cave (i.e. despawning).

==Trivia ==
*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 not considered a 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. It used to be very small, but with Spirit Bear's neglect to remove it, the Coconut Crab grew big and now defends the Coconut Field.
*The sound that plays when a coconut from the Coconut Crab's coconut attack can be found here.
*Once the Coconut Crab has been defeated, standing on top of the Coconut Cave will not cause the player to teleport back to spawn. The teleportation is to prevent players from cheating by defeating the Crab on that platform, so it does not teleport the player if it has been defeated as that removes the purpose.
*If looked closely, two tiny green spheres can be spotted right in front of the Coconut Crab. The purpose of those spheres is to collide with Coconut Crab's claws to stop them from extending.
* This, Cave Monsters, Robo Bear Challenge Mobs and Ants are the only mobs that don't drop Honey upon defeat.
**The Coconut Crab is the only one of these to drop item loot.
*Around the Beesmas 2022 update, if the player has beaten their record of how fast they have defeated the crab, their record will not be recorded and will revert to their former best time before the update. This is the same case as Mondo Chick's.
*This, Mondo Chick and Puffshrooms are the only mobs that scatter their loot on the field when defeated instead of a ring, being in the form of rings if it is outside the field.
*Onett once accidentally put Coconut Crab's HP to 20.
