Lurcher is a monster type. Unlike the real world meaning, According to in-game Bestiary, Lurcher is a genus of Crustaceans group (akin to subfamily of the real world biology) of The Deep family.
The name probably refers to the lurking behaviour of this monster type. This monster type may burrows into the ground and emerge elsewhere. (e.g. NessaCrabTriggeredEarthquake of Brinecrack)
Lurchers are placed in a cage known as "Cave Crabs" in the Menagerie Depths.

Abilities[ | ]
In-game crustaceans usually resist fire damage, so does Waste Lurcher, Salt Lurcher and Blight Lurcher.
However, Brinecrack and Sulphurspawn resist cold damage.
While Craiceann, First of the Deep and Clobberclaw are map bosses which resists both elemental and chaos damage. Primal Crushclaw is a harvestable monster, which resists elemental damage.
