Story[edit]

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance[edit]

The Char Clawbster attacks Riku atPrankster's Paradise inside of Monstro's body, and is the final Dream Eater summoned by theSpellican to fightSora in Traverse Town during his second visit.

Design[edit]

The Char Clawbster is a very large, festive-colored lobster with two cone-shaped claws, four sharp legs, and theDream Eater emblem on its back and under its head. The main segment of its body is orange, while its claws and tails are colored with yellow, red, purple, blue, green, and pink. Its eyes are bright red, and it glows green when it increases its power.

TheChill Clawbster is a larger version with palate swap of the Char Clawbster.

"Meramera" is Japanese onomatopoeia for burning. Similarly, the Char Clawbster is named for its ability to char, or burn, its enemies, while "Clawbster" is a portmanteau of "claw" and "lobster".

Strategy[edit]

Prankster's Paradise[edit]

The Char Clawbster first confronts Riku inside Monstro's bowels. Due to the vast size of the battlefield, the boss can crawl on the ceiling, which Riku can circumvent by striking the uvula on the floor to flip the arena. The Nightmare is particularly vulnerable from its back or on its face, and powerful commands and Link Styles are best effective against it. It tends to attack by summoning bombs, slashing with its claws, and shooting fire attacks either through crawling walls or spinning disks. Riku should avoid staying in front of Char Clawbster when it uses Sleep Breath, in order to avoid a potentially early drop. For its ultimate attack, the boss will activate Overboost, signified by it glowing green, and rapidly shift positions on the battlefield, firing bombs and lasers along the way that can be dodged with Flowmotion. Once Overboost wears off, Riku can resume his assault. If Riku can deal enough damage in a short period of time, he can activateBubble Burst and use it on the boss.

Traverse Town[edit]

The Char Clawbster is the final Nightmare summoned by theSpellican to attack Sora at the Third District. In this battle, the Char Clawbster cannot activate Overboost, and its movements are limited by the arena's small size. Once again, staying behind the boss and unleashing powerful commands and Link Attacks are crucial to victory. Sora can also useSlingshot to fling barrels at the boss or, if he delivers enough damage to the boss, fling the boss on the ground.

Technique		Element	Status	Power	Block?
Scissor Swing (ハサミ振り, Hasami Furi?)		Physical	—	1.0 x2	△
		Swings left scissor sideways, followed by right scissor.
Sleep Breath (スリープブレス, Surīpu Buresu?)		Physical	Sleep (100%/3s)	0	△
		Holds its scissors above its head and sprays hypnotic gas from them.
Fire Shot (火弾, Hi-dan?)		Fire	—	0.5 per hit	△
		Fires two colorful bombs forward or diagonally upward. When a bomb hits the ground, it splits into four pieces, bounces back up, and explodes when it hits the ground again.
Wall Fire (ウォールファイア, Wōru Faia?)	Fire Pillar	Fire	—	0.8 per hit	△
	Fragments	Fire	—	0.25 per hit	△
		Fires two flame bullets forward or diagonally forward, which scatter fragments. When a flame bullet lands, it raises a fire pillar that travels forward (or sideways when the bullet was fired diagonally), and when the fragments fall on the ground, they travel in a zigzagging pattern.
Boost Fire Shot (ブースト火弾, Būsuto Hi-dan?)		Fire	—	0.75 per hit	△
		Scatters green bombs forward that explode upon hitting the ground. Sometimes moves sideways while scattering the bombs.
		Only used during Overboost.
Circle Flare (サークルフレア, Sākuru Furea?)	Circle	None	Bind (100%/0.5s)	0.5	X
	Light	None	—	1.5	X
		Draws a circle of light on the ground, and emits light from within the circle.
		Only used during Overboost.
Boost Laser (ブーストレーザー, Būsuto Rēzā?)		None	—	1.0 per hit	X
		While firing a laser forward from the scissors, move sideways at high speed and circle the area three times.
		Only used during Overboost, which ends with this attack.
Overboost can only be used during the fight in Prankster's Paradise. It can be activated below half HP, or from the start of the fight in Critical Mode. During this mode, Char Clawbster will only use attacks exclusive to this mode, while moving across the arena at high speed.
