The 2 hour Dauntless live stream was hosted by Sound Designer, Derek and Concept Artist, Julio. The stream is currently available on the Play Dauntless YouTube channel.
There isn't a lot of information about this behemoth but these are the things we know so far:
The Crudge's name comes from combining "Crab" with the word "Sludge"
The Crudge is described as an Umbral Anthropod and "creature is unlike anything we've seen before".
It has cycloptic eye (one eye in the middle of it's face), crustaceous limbs (crab-like limbs), mandibles for horns, beetle elytra (or wings) for a head shield and a prehensile tail (meaning it can grab things with it's tail).
Both Derek and Julio said it may be cool if the Crudge produce a type of toxic Umbral gas that slowed the player down long enough, that the Crudge could then use it's prehensile tail to lift and slam the Slayer down to the ground.
Looking at the concept art of the Crudge behemoth, we can see that is is able to fight using it's mandibles and limbs at the front, but also picking up and throwing slayers down using it's prehensile tail; which could mean that two or more slayers will be need to defeat this behemoth and even though it has one eye, it may be aware of all slayers around it at all times.
The Crudge behemoth doesn't look like or behave like any behemoth currently in Dauntless, so this will be a completely new experience for all slayers when it's finally introduced into the game.
