Fire Crab- Despite its name, the Fire Crab resembles a huge turtle with a jeweled shell. In the Fiji Islands, where it comes from, an extension of the coast has been turned into a reserve to protect these monsters not only from the Muggles, who could be tempted by their precious carapace, but also from the unscrupulous sorcerers, use the carapaces as valuable cauldrons. The Fire Crab, however, has its own defense mechanism: it flames by the tail when attacked. Fire Crab are exported as pet monsters, requiring a special license.
