It is able to defend itself by shooting flames from its rear end when it is attacked.The fire crab is a protected species, and a reservation has been created to protect this species from Muggles, who would value the jewelled shell, and wizards who use the shells as cauldrons. Fire crabs are sold and exported as pets, but the owners require a special license. The Ministry of Magic states that a competent wizard should be able to cope with this animal. Fifth years, for their Care of Magical Creatures O.W.L., had to demonstate how to feed and clean out a fire crab without sustaining serious burns.

Behind the scenes
Fire Crab
- In the Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets GBA video games based on the series, the player must hit a fire crab with Rictusempra to knock it over, then cast Flipendo to push it into a pit. It will then cease its attacks on you. In the Prisoner of Azkaban game, it can be knocked over with Rictusempra and pushed with Rictusempra. In the GBA version of the Goblet of Fire game, they make an appearance and they have to be splashed with water on their rear end.
- In the PC and console versions of Philosopher's Stone and Chamber of Secrets, Harry encounters the occasional fire crab in the Forbidden Forest or in secret passages around Hogwarts. To defeat one, the player can flip it onto its backside by casting Flipendo on it, allowing them to pass safely by if they can do so before it rights itself again, within twenty seconds or so.
