The answer is simple.<\/p>\n<p>No pet is worth taming if I don&#8217;t have to work to get it. I&#8217;m a freak when it comes to pets. If they don&#8217;t have a silver dragon around their portrait, then I don&#8217;t want &#8217;em. The only excpetion to the rule here would be my <a title=\"Grimtotem Spirit Guide\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=24133\" target=\"_blank\">ghost wolf<\/a>, but that&#8217;s the only exception.<\/p>\n<p>Some of you may not know this, and more of you may not give a damn, but the only rare crab in the game happens to inhabit the waters off the coast of Desolace. His name is <a title=\"Crusty the Rare Crab\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?npc=18241\" target=\"_blank\">Crusty<\/a>, and he&#8217;s a little red bottom-dweller.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d actually tamed him prior to WotLK, but I ended up letting him go due to the fact that I wanted to experiment with, and tame other pets. Well, since I decided to give Survival a whirl for arena, I decided to re-enlist Crusty for his services.<\/p>\n<p>Finding him this time didn&#8217;t prove to be very difficult. Although I didn&#8217;t locate him during my first sweep of the area, I did manage to target him within moments of logging in the next day.<\/p>\n<h3>Catching Rare Crabs Made Easy<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Download and install <a title=\"NPCScan\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wowinterface.com\/downloads\/info12995-_NPCScan.html\" target=\"_blank\">NPCScan<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Enter in the name and NPC ID of the crab you want to catch.
