Scrabs are extremely fast creatures and the only way to escape them is to run like the wind and don't stop!

Like a pack of Lions, there can only be one leader of a Scrab herd. Therefore, you will often see Scrabs who are territorial creatures. These are referred to as Alpha Scrabs. They do not like anything to invade their own territory, and that includes another Alpha Scrab. If another Alpha Scrab comes into a Scrab's territory, then the Scrabs will fight to the death.

In Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus we only see Alpha Scrabs. However in Munch's Oddysee we see a herd of Scrabs (this would have an Alpha Scrab leader and many lesser Alpha Scrabs).

Scrabs are held sacred by native Mudokons. The temples in Scrabania are evidence of this. Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus, Munch's Oddysee: There is only one thing to do when encountered by a Scrab, and that is run and keep on running! Make good use of ledges, doors and wells, or just dodge to escape a pursuing Scrab. In Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus, lead Scrabs into another's territory to eliminate them. Use possessed Scrabs to kill other Scrabs.
