A greater siege crab is simply a larger version of an ordinary siege crab.

Trample (Ex): Reflex half DC 40. The save DC is Strength-based.

Shielded Compartment (Ex): A greater siege crab's passenger space is about 10 feet by 20 feet by 10 feet; it can hold 4 Large creatures or 16 Medium or Small creatures.

Greater siege crabs are almost 30 feet in diameter, stand 20 feet tall, and weigh over 130 tons.

Aquatic Subtype

Creatures with the aquatic subtype always have swim speeds and thus can move in water without making Swim checks. An aquatic creature can breathe underwater. It cannot also breathe air unless it has the amphibious special quality.
