Two things inSkyrimare steeped in more mystery than just about anything else in theElder Scrollsseries – the Dwemer and mudcrabs. The Dwemer, who many Tamrielic races refer to as the Dwarves, suddenly and mysteriously disappeared all at once across Nirn thousands of years beforeSkyrim(well, almost all at once, as Yagrum Barnam can be found inMorrowind).

Mudcrabs, on the other hand, seem toexist in almost every provincein Tamriel, including Skyrim. InSkyrim Anniversary Editionplayers have the opportunity to find something that combines the enigmas of both Mudcrabs and the Dwemer in the form of the Dwarven Armored Mudcrab, a new follower with special perks.

The Dwarven Mudcrab is a max level 5 follower with high health and a variety of friendly faction relations. It is an essential NPC, meaning itcan never die(as hard as a player might try), and it’sconsidered a Friendly NPC to Orcs, Bandits, Creatures, Predators, and other animals. The Dwarven Mudcrabcan also carry items, making it less of a pet and more of a companion inSkyrim.
Where To Find The Dwarven Mudcrab
The Dwarven Armored Mudcrab can be bought in Markarth from Calcemo, the city’s chief Scholar.Look for Calcemo in Understone Keep, where he can typically be found either in his quarters or the Dwemer Ruins that are accessible only in the Keep.Calcemo is a High Elf who wears dark robes, so he sticks out amongst the races of man in Markarth.
When speaking to the Scholar a new option pops up – the option topurchase an Ownership Deed. The deed isnot expensive at all, only costing a meager 100 Gold. After it’s been purchased, the player is given a Spell Tome that teaches them how to summon the pet to their side. The Dwarven Mudcrab is foundsitting by an Enchanting table, where it can be ordered to follow the player at will.
