Shade crab

Shade crabs are crustaceans found on the Unggoy homeworld of Balaho. Dadab the Deacon hunted shade crabs as well as mud wasps in the days of his youth.

It is somewhat unlikely that they are related to the crabs of Earth, due to the fact that they evolved on a different planet with a vastly different ecosystem.
