Peckish Aristocrab

The Peckish Aristocrab is a large crustacean-like creature that was discovered on PNF-404 by space ranger Koppaite Captain Charlie in his expedition onto the planet.

Appearance
This large creature strongly resembles the Earth fiddler crab in anatomy: a crab-like structure with asymmetrical claw size - one claw very well-developed and huge as the other one is too small to be used for much. The main body vaguely resembles an onion, with markings on its cheeks resembling eyes when in fact its real eyes are on the top of its head as eyestalks. Its mouth has teeth along the lower jaw, and a purple tongue.

Its four insect-like legs are strictly on the side of its body like crabs, making it easier moving side-to-side rather than front and back.

Behavior
These creatures often remain motionless within their territory, cleansing and clacking its large pincers for prey to arrive. It can sense prey from a far distance, and will quickly pursue its prey. Its large claw is its main tool for manipulating the world around it: blocking incoming attacks, stabbing the ground as a means of attacking enemies, and using it to hunt and capture small prey.

Outside of its many uses of its large claw, it can also release a barrage of small bubbles that can capture small creatures, much like the Waddlepus.
