Description
Topiary Crabs
First Appearance: Deviantart (12/17/2019)
Origin
(---"Take a crab, swap its gills for lungs and enlarge it to around three meters long and one meter tall. Topiary Crabs are herbivores, using their claws as shears like living lawnmowers.
Their name originates from their reproductive display, in a fashion similar to bowerbird nests, males will attract females by creating artificial structures, specifically, by using their claws as shears to trim trees and bushes into elaborate topiary sculptures which they then viciously territoriality defend, although aside from males during mating season, they are harmless. They possess a form of genetic memory and their sculptures will replicate things, beings and events they or their ancestors have witnessed.
They are edible and their shells can be used as raw materials, but are difficult to kill on account of their size and armored exoskeletons.
Unfortunately for the crabs, they are the unintentional enemies of Rambushes since the crabs usually mistake a sleeping Rambush for a normal piece of shrubbery and try to make a sculpture out of it, causing a conflict to flare up."---)
Main Articles: Sargasso, The Ever-Changing City & The Forest of the Austro
An idea thought of by my friend, BassoeG when he commented in the comment section of my Skittering Whiptail. So please, if you guys get the chance, please check out his gallery as I believe that he would appreciate the views and possible Faves.
This character was made using Hero Machine 3.
Topiary Crabs are an open source species created specifically for use by anyone. Feel free to use it any way you wish. You must also give creators (me and BassoeG) credit.

The Topiary Crabs will work for one of my stories on the open source public domain Super Hero,Spacehawk.I'll have them exist on the jungle world of Carnivornia.
When I think about how long wild game can feed people,an edible,one meter tall and three meter long crab will last different tribes of hunters on the planet a long amount of time. And some of them will even wear parts of the Topiary Crabs's exoskeletons as ceremonial garb and armor,as well using the claws as weapons and parts of the exoskeleton as shields-it's incorporating the Native-American philosophy of ''using the whole buffalo''-or in this case,using the whole Topiary Crab!
