01
Northwest of Abbie's Bunker
One always spawns at the bend in the highway road northwest of the bunker, wearing a van or container as a shell. Slow, but it hits like a truck and spews hatchlings in waves.
Hermit CrabSpawn Locations
Tracking a Hermit Crab in Appalachia? The Archive logs 3 spawn locations for it across The Mire and Cranberry Bog. Server population and active events shift the odds, but these are the spots the field notes keep returning to.
02
Abandoned Bog Town
A crab patrols the highway southwest of Bogtown. Keep your distance — when it pulls into its shell and shakes, four to six hatchlings are about to pour out.
03
Southern Belle Motel
Another reliable highway spawn, on the road southwest of the motel. They cannot fit through doors or climb obstacles, so high ground shuts them down.
