The Kriller killer is a monster in the series.

Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Kriller killers are amphibious green-shelled lobsters that have taken to preying on humans. They can be found on river banks and sea shores like other crustaceans. They bolster their offensive capabilities by breathing out ice-cold blasts from their maws and can toughen up their exoskeletons with magic.
