About Shrubclaw
The lush plants that cover their shells convert sunlight into nutrients, so they don’t even need to eat on sunny days.
Twined passiveStealth — Builds Momentum when dealing damage, up to 6 stacks. Momentum gain is doubled while tunneling. At max stacks, BREAK efficiency increases by 30% for 20s.
Mudflat FormHeaps of sand remain on the ground when they tunnel, and it’s annoying that someone else keeps stealing their pebbles.
Beach FormThe fruit on Shrubclaw’s back fall into the sand when they are ripe and grow into food and shelter for Budclaws.
Bay FormEvolved from bay-dwelling Budclaw, it maintains its sunbathing habit, though excessive sun exposure has caused the plants on its head to become somewhat dehydrated and discolored.
