The Granite crab is a level 16 Summoning familiar. It is summoned using a Granite crab pouch.

The Granite crab has multiple uses:

• Combat: it has a combat level of 26 and provides defence experience when it deals damage. In addition, its scroll Stony Shell provides a +4 boost to a player's Defence when activated.
• Fishing: it increases the player's fishing level by 1. However, this boost is invisible. This boost cannot be used to catch fish that are 1 level above the player's original fishing level.
• Forager: While the player is fishing, this familiar can produce cod, pike, seaweed, and oysters. It can hold up to 30 of its foraged items in its own inventory. 5.5 Fishing xp is granted for each fish (cod or pike) produced by the crab.

Trivia

• The examine text "Is it a stone? Is it a crab? No! It's Granite Crab!" is a reference to a common phrase from Superman: "Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's Superman!"
• One of the things the Granite crab says is "Free fish please.". This could be a reference to poor or low-levelled players asking for free food or money, commonly known as begging.
• When you give it certain types of fish, it doesn't accept it.
• Even though the secondary ingredient is an iron ore, it's a granite crab.
