NPCs & Enemies Skirmishers: Crabs in Hardmode

[TheGuideIsEvil]

Crabs of a larger size, and they have a special quirk. They spawn in Hardmode Oceans.

Skirmishers become different colors as they get damaged, and move faster, dealing more damage as well. They change from red to blue to purple as they lose a third of their health each time, becoming a lot deadlier with contact damage. They also lack knockback resistance. They reference Sidesteppers in Mario Bros, and have a fair bit more health.

Skirmishers drop a good amount of coins.
