-Rose, when seeing the Rippers. The Ripper is a mutated version of what looks like a Hermit Crab that had been heavily exposed to the t2 virus. Its entire body is covered with a thick exoskeleton and armed with a single pair of large, jagged claws. They can be found only on the beaches of Isle Alexandria and seemed to have developed a type of hierarchy. They make their first appearance when Rose and Chris scan the beaches of the South Seas islands. They are generally 5 feet tall, but can vary to sizes of 4 and 5.
