Cerebrocrustacean

Cerebrocrustaceans are a sapient species of crab-like aliens from the stormy planet Encephalonus IV.

Anatomy
The Cerebrocrustaceans are crab-like aliens with small bumps around their faces and on top of their very large heads. They have arms with claws sprouting from the sides of their heads, four or six spider-like legs, and a stubby body. Their face is composed of a pair of pupiless eyes and a mouth that does not move as they speak. They wear neck braces to support their heads while moving outside of water.

Although Cerebrocrustaceans traditionally have orange exoskeletons, they can come in other "crabby colors". For example, Negative Brainstorm has a red exoskeleton while Dr. Psychobos has a purple exoskeleton.

Ecology
Cerebrocrustaceans are filter feeders and can project their thoughts with soundwaves.

The Cerebrocrustaceans' natural predators are the Vicetopus.

Powers and abilities
Cerebrocrustaceans are able to open up their shells to shoot beams of electricity from their brains that are powerful enough to harm Necrofriggians and Pturbosaurians and destroy Sonorosian clones. These beams come in different colors, including yellow, green, red, and purple.

Cerebrocrustaceans can create electric field waves from their brains to block attacks, knock away enemies, and generate protective force fields powerful enough to topple an Evolved Arburian Pelarota.

Cerebrocrustaceans are extremely intelligent, being able to solve difficult calculations mentally in seconds, as well as to determine and visualize equations and movement of objects as if they are actually there. Ultimately, they perfectly understand the mindsets and mannerisms of enemies and the presence of any useful objects around them, so they can know exactly what moves to make in battle.

Cerebrocrustaceans are durable thanks to their shells, and are strong enough to pin opponents against walls and rip apart an Arachnichimp's webbing.

Cerebrocrustaceans seem to have enhanced dexterity, despite having pincers. They are also very agile, as they can perform acrobatics such as somersaults and forward rolls.

Cerebrocrustaceans are capable of mnemokinesis, being able to alter and erase other beings' memories and thoughts by manipulating their brain pulsations.

Cerebrocrustaceans can breath underwater because they possess gills, which they have to keep moist when on land.

Weaknesses
Cerebrocrustaceans tend to be egotistical, which makes them forget how to do simple things due to their cocky attitude.

If a Cerebrocrustacean's shell is forcibly closed when they are releasing electricity, it will shock them into submission and injure their brains.

The sonic screams of a Sonorosian can give Cerebrocrustaceans headaches, making it hard for them to concentrate.

Cerebrocrustaceans can be lifted and carried by a species with as much strength as a Pturbosaurian. Similarly, they can be easily overpowered by a Galilean's gravity powers.

Culture and society
Cerebrocrustaceans are either the third, fourth or fifth smartest race in the galaxy, and thus consider Galvans to be their primary rivals.

Language
Cerebrocrustaceans speak in a higher diction with either British or Swedish accents, depending on the individual.

Cerebrocrustaceans do not speak through their mouths because their thoughts are projected as sound waves.

History
The Cerebrocrustaceans' ancestors took advantage of the natural storms surrounding the Encephalonus planets, resulting in the destruction of three planets by using up all of their natural resources.

By the time they arrived at Encephalonus IV, the Cerebrocrustaceans had evolved to create the electricity instead of taking it away and therefore arrived as the electricity-generating crustaceans that they are today.

The Cerebrocrustaceans are deeply ashamed of their ancestors having been responsible for the destruction of their original homeworld Encephalonus I and the two other planets (Encephalonus II and Encephalonus III) in their solar system.
