Crabs in Games

Crab from What the Golf?

This adorable little guy starts by trying to stop you from getting your beach ball to the flag on one hole, but on the next hole you get to play as the crab!

Although I think they may have crabs mixed up with spiders a bit... Regardless an adorable crab. But the best part?

That's right golf crab said gay rights! Thank you golf crabs.

Bright-Eyed Crab, Ironshell Crab, and Razorclaw crab from The Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild

Solar Crab from Awesomenauts

Awesomenauts is a fun cute moba game, and these Solar Crabs serve as jungle creatures on some maps, allowing for you to gain health and solar (in game money) from killing them. Additionally there is the purchasable upgrade Solar Crab Burgers that makes it so all solar picked up heals you. There also a reference to Crabby Patties from SpongeBob.

Shantae’s crab form from Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero

Crabulon from the Terraria mod Calamity

This big ol crab is one of the bosses added in this mod. She's got a mushroom aesthetic to match the biome you fight her in. The coolest thing about her though is her theme, 1NF3$+@+!0N (pronounced "infestation") created by the amazing @dmdokuro (seriously go check them out their really good). When the song is played in a vector scope it creates shapes that resemble mushrooms!

Pokeshell from Oxygen not Included

Daimyo Hermitaur from Monster Hunter

A personal favorite of mine. These giant crabs use the skulls of even more giant dragons as shells. There's an even stronger varient called the Stonefist Hermitaur exlucive to Monster Hunter Generations and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.

The spy crab from Team Fortress 2

What originally started as a meme, the spy crab is an actual equipable cosmetic in Team Fortress 2. It's a reference to the fact that if you play as the spy class and equip his disguise kit, then look up, he kinda does a crab pose

The best part though? There's a plushy!!!!
