"I well recall the time when, on a peculiarly perspicacious journey into the heart of the Fijian rainforest, while engaged in a legendary odyssey to rescue the Giant Fire Crab from extinction at the hands of unscrupulous wizard poachers, I had occasion to rest a while in the shade of a banyan tree."
Gilderoy Lockhart, Marauding with Monsters[src]

The Giant Fire Crab was a larger variation of the Fire Crab. It was endemic to the rainforest in Fiji, and had been near extinction due to hunting by unscrupulous wizard poachers.[2]

History[]

In Marauding with Monsters, Gilderoy Lockhart conveys the tale of how he was confronted with a horde of Fire Crabs, while campaigning to save the Giant Fire Crabs but stopping to perform "certain urgent ablutions" under a banyan tree.[2] The veracity of these events is doubtful, given Lockhart's theft of other people's achievements.[4]
