Giant Crustacean

Giant Crustacean (巨大甲殻生物) was a monster from the New World that appeared in Mass for the Dead.

Abilities

Trivia

 * This creature initially did not actually make an appearance, in the game, though it is killed off-screen in the game by the Pleiades. However in the reprint event it was added in.
 * One was blocking a passage to a hidden pirate hideout on a deserted island. According to Solution Epsilon, based on one specimen it's shell was elastic and looked quite new, indicating it may have recently molted. It was nocturnal, and emerged from the cave at night, and may have been over two hundred years old as it was used by pirates as a living door for their hideout.
 * Later in another special event, giant crabs were featured though they were of a smaller variant found in the seaside of the Re-Estize Kingdom.
 * Éclair Éklair Éklare and Kyouhukou as an entry for a swimsuit for Cocytus, had him wear a giant shell, making him look like a giant hermit crab.
 * On an island near the Mysterious Island, Chaos Beasts that spawned from Crack appeared. However due to lacking any powerful prey and intelligent beings to hunt, the Chaos Beasts targeted the local wildlife such as the Giant Crustaceans.
