The Flying Crab is a hostile flying bug that damages the player upon contact.[1]
Stats
It takes 2 hits from the 
Xeno-Zapper to kill, while the 
Xeno-Basher or the 
Rifle can kill them in 1 hit. It attacks by circling around behind and ramming the player, dealing 5 damage (half-segment) to the player.
Behavior
Flying Crabs are spawned from a Flying Crab Hatcher. Hatchers burst when damaged or if the engineer gets too close, spawning three Flying Crabs. One of the three would charge towards the engineer in a straight line, while the other 2 would try to circle around and sneak from behind. After hitting the engineer, the crab ragdolls on the ground, which after a few seconds it will start flying around again.
If the hatcher is destroyed from distance, the Flying Crabs alternate between moving around and hovering. They stay around the hatcher.
Loot
Flying Crabs themselves drop nothing, but a destroyed hatcher drops a reskinned Alien Carapace.
