Trivia

• Land hermit crabs don't live in Europe. This mistake was made when wood ant missions were changed to take place in Europe later in development. Original beach enemies like tiger beetles and wolf spiders are from the southeast of USA so these hermit crabs are most likely Coenobita clypeatus.

• The hermit scorpion was created from a huge hermit crab, which doesn't actually exist in the game.
