The Dream Crab

The Dream Crab was an entity from beyond the Rift that was placed in Lake Lucid by CAPRA. It was killed by the Inspector.

Lucid Dreams

 * Scientists from CAPRA manage to bring the Dream Crab through the rift to observe its hallucinatory effects. However, they fail to predict its polluting of the water supply or the subsequent suicides throughout town. The Inspector catches wind of the case, and together with Mark Hannigan, he swims to the bottom of Lake Lucid to confront the creature. The Dream Crab attempts to kill them both, but the Inspector uses his cigar to boil the lake water and steam the creature to death inside its shell.

Appearance and Attributes

 * The Dream Crab is a "stupid creature," according to the Inspector, and is incapable of crossing the Rift on its own. It is about the size of a small horse and has a salmon-pink carapace with six enormous claws. It issues neon pink smoke from small holes within its shell.
