Ironcrabs are first encountered on B26F, and are the only monsters that will appear on every floor of the Claret Hollows.
Like the profile states, Ironcrabs are resistant to pretty much anything except for Volt damage. Trying to kill it with anything else can drag this battle out for a very long time, since the damage will be minuscule (mostly single digit).
Skills[]
- Scissors (Uses Arms): Deals damage to one party member. This attack is simply stronger than the normal attack, it has no other effects than dealing damage.
Drops[]
- None.
- None.
- Holed Limb (Conditional) (Worth: 1050 en)
Conditional Drop[]
- In order to get the Ironcrab's conditional drop, the Holed Limb, you must kill the Ironcrab with a Piercing attack.

The Iron Crab is a monster that only appears on B30F in Etrian Odyssey Untold: The Millennium Girl, and is easily the most dangerous random monster that can be encountered in the game. It will never appear by itself, but always with other monsters. In battle, Iron Crabs will do absolutely nothing - until one of the other monsters are taken out. It will then become infuriated and attack the entire party with Scissor Wrath for each defeated ally, sometimes attacking more than once per turn. When angered, its attacks are strong enough to even take out a level 99 character in two or three hits.
Before going to B30, characters should remove Severing Slash passive skill, as the Crabs are resistant to instant death, but their partners may not be. A random encounter that triggers Severing Slash can lead to a game over before even turn 1.
Killing the crabs before anything else becomes top priority, though one must also be wary that the FOEs roaming the floor imposes a time limit to finishing the battle before the situation becomes worse. If two of them appear at the same time, you will want to take them out at the same time. Powerful AOE Volt type skills, like Volt Torrent, are invaluable, as with a buff, they can eliminate all Iron Crabs in one turn. Disabling them with arm bind or various ailments can greatly alleviate the incoming damage, but also lengthen the battle and put the party at risk of an FOE joining.
Skills[]
- Scissor Wrath (Uses Arms): Melee cut attack to the entire party. Used immediately after an ally dies, and during each turn afterwards.
Drops[]
- Gray Shell (Worth: 1504 en)
- Gray Pincer (Worth: 1985 en)
Conditional Drop[]
- None.
Locations[]
- Claret Hollows (EOU): B30F

The Iron Crab in all its party-mauling glory returns from the depths of Untold, showing up from B2F of the Abyssal Shrine. Like before, it is never alone, and is docile until other monsters are beaten, upon which it unleashes Scissor Wrath on the party.
Its great resistance to binds and ailments, on top of damage immunity to everything that isn't Bash or Volt will make defeating it incredibly difficult - however, it also is complete fodder for a Hero's Spark Blade skill. A single use of Spark Blade off an adequately strong Hero should be able to instantly kill the Iron Crab, with the added bonus of decimating everything around it that's not resistant to Volt. For parties without access to such a skill, Poison damage should be able to dispatch the Crab effectively.
Skills[]
- Scissor Wrath (Uses Arms): Melee cut attack to the entire party. Used after an ally is slain, and every turn afterwards.
Drops[]
- Gray Pincer (Worth: 1665 en)

Metal Claws can be encountered in Torrential Ravine, Mountain Cleft, Phantom Depths, Champion's Hall and Mysterious Labyrinth after it has been extended.
Since Metal Claws are immune to all types of damages except Volt damage, it is necessary to have Shocking Sigils or a character with a Volt attack on your team. Luckily, he doesn't have much HP, which means he will often be killed in one or two Volt attacks.
Metal Claws can move on water tiles. This monster is a Normal type monster.
Skills[]
- Scissor Wrath (Uses Arms): "Cut attacks with enormous pincers fueled by rage." Attack used only on adjacent tile. Inflicts Cut damage.
