Alpha Crust
Alpha Crust is a monster of the melee type found in Icarus.
Lore
The Alpha Crust is the oldest and strongest of the Crusts of Icarus, its shell covered in scars and sky-lichen. The others gather around it on the rocks, and the birds of Icarus have learned never to land where it sleeps.
It fights in melee with enormous pincers able to catch a blade mid-swing. It advances slowly, protected by its shell, and once it gets close a hero has to keep moving to avoid being seized. The rocks where it lives are scored with pincer marks from many generations.

On Hard items drop as Nightmare (+40% to flat attributes and +30% to % bonuses); on Hardcore they also drop as Nightmare, and once in a while, very rarely, a Godlike (+80%) comes, delivered by letter.
Special enemies pay more: the Elite drops an item 38% of the time, the Champion 70% and the Ancient Monster 100%; Champion and Ancient Monster raise the item's rarity by 1 level. The jewel chance is 2× on the Elite, 4× on the Champion and 8× on the Ancient Monster. Each Reset also raises the jewel chance a little. See Special enemies (PT).
