Sarxea
Description:	An Alteri named crustacean creature that grows to be about two feet long, and often travel and hunt in groups of 4 or more. They have elongated bodies that end in a long whip like tail with a sharp barb on the end that is often much longer than themselves. While these barbs are not poisonous, they are quite sharp, and can pierce through thinner metals. Likewise, they have two equally sharp claws in their front, making them quite viscious when they attack in groups. They live in shallow water, and can survive outside of water as well, but they are never found away from the beaches. They are smart enough to leave bigger creatures alone, but if there are several of them they will often attack anyway.
Uses:	meat is edible (tasting much like crab), barbs and claws used for weapon making (through skinning).
Habitat:	beaches, shallow water
Where found:	Unknown
