It’s already a crab, the perfect manifestation of any life form.

The nobility of the sea. True blue bloods, if you will.

And not just any crab. One of the first. A proto-crab that drew the invidious gaze of many branches of the Tree of Life and inspired iteration. The form others aspire to be. The inevitability of life.

It's not a crab, it's more related to scorpions and spiders, which also already exists, only luckily way smaller.

It's not a crab in that sense
