Cremlings are edible for humans. While not considered high-quality, their overabundance makes them a reliable food source, and a good cook can turn them into a fine dish.{{book ref|sa3|55}}{{book ref|sa3|68}} They are usually boiled, and the water left afterwards can be drank, although the latter seems to be a habit limited to the [[Horneater]]s.{{book ref|sa3|55}} They taste similarly to crabs.{{book ref|sa3|63}}
 
Some people collect various species of cremlings, pinning them to boards like butterflies.{{book ref|sa3|i|4}} Others enjoy harming them, tearing off their legs and claws, although this is usually a sign of mental issues rather than acceptable behaviour.{{book ref|sa1|i|2}}
 
As with "[[chicken]]" and "[[spren]]", the term "cremling" is often misapplied by Rosharans to refer to creatures that aren't part of the same group, like some non-crustacean hordelings, insects and [[greatshell]] larvae.{{wob ref|3346}}{{wob ref|3978}}{{wob ref|10372}}
