Yes, that is pretty scary.
Anet knows how to play on your average male mmo player’s primal fears…
You are right, I am really scared of Giant Mutant Crab Monsters. Unless you were trying to imply something else :P
If you would go down there a bit more often, you’d see that they don’t really look like that.
Down to southsun of course. Bring protection (shields work best)
Is it really possible to answer without double entendres in this thread?

Just thrust your giant sword into it, no problem.
Always use protection.
And projectile reflection. Wait what?
Put…put your sword in it!
And watch out for the big ones, they can spit your projectiles right back at you.
oh…. my…. god…. I’ve always wondered why they always do those nasty spit attacks
The worse is when they roll over and you are done for.
Some of them can take a full zerg too!
i always thought that karka looks like those giant bug monster from starship trooper..

I’m alright with looks of it as long as its not smelling real bad…
Well, this is an ancient sea creature. I imagine it’d smell strongly of fish.
Karka remind me of the monster on the ice planet in the 2009 Star Trek movie.

My first thought too XD
I wonder if having a nightmare about this as a child or something is what drove me to prefer dudes.
That’s the thing I was talking about (the second, big one, not the first one):

That thing looks like it can swallow you whole. I’d still hit it though.
Laughing so hard I’m crying…..
Sadly, some women will be offended by that, but I just find it too funny….and then to read all the double entendre remarks in response…priceless….
As the renowned Sylvari psychologist, Sigmund Frond, had said, “sometimes a Karka is just a Karka.”
I don’t mind facing such.
With Greatsword in hand I go head first into this danger and come out swinging.
Sure it sometimes gets exhausting, but the rewards aren’t that bad.
I do get access to a nice chest if done right.
Also I sure love the booty it provides!
Hilarious OP, I regret not opening this thread earlier.
I know at least one creature artist who spent too much time with Georgia O’Keeffe in art school.
Karka’s aren’ t scary.
Go into their stomach and you know what I mean.
They are so warm and you always get many companiens after a while. ^^

It’s good to be bad!

These comments both made me laugh. An internet for each of you!
I dont know if anyone has read the HL2 book ‘Raising The Bar’ but the design of the Gonarch basically is along these lines.
They wanted something that would make players (who are mostly male) uncomfortable to raise the atmosphere of the battle, and so went for a creature that looks like gonads.
I would think the Karka design was intentional. Hope so, in fact.
No, no! I think you’re all wrong. Have you ever seen the moves Alien and Aliens 2? I think Karka (at least the big ones) are based on Aliens for sure. The way big mamas entangles you in slime, spit acid at you, lay swarm of eggs and it’s hatchlings attach themselves to your face etc. Aliens absolutely!
On a funny note, I have some East Europeans friends who laugh whenever they see the name Karka. Aparently, if you remove the r from Karka it’s a baby talk for…ugh s…. and it’s pronounced exactly the same lolz.

ill be happy to thrust my charrzooka inside.
Aliens and Starship troopers (and many games like Starcraft) owe a lot to the art of HR Giger. And a lot of his artwork is quite … biological.

I thought that was a US expression.
People in the US couldn’t stop laughing at the Kha’ak in the X series games (The series is German)

Virginity or Karka?

I usually like to open up with a Rapid Fire from my longbow, using opening strike to keep them vunerable. Then I go for my Crippling Shot and Volley to finish the job.

Sometimes the elegent moves of a shortbow is better than a longbow and quick dps.
