Serina: Ant Crab
🕑 Added 2023-02-04 11:11:01 +0000 UTCA very rough sketch of an, admittedly silly, idea of a tiny crab which lived in shoggoth colonies as a specialized myrmecophile. It walks sideways, but manages to camouflage itself visually through holding up two of its legs to mimic antennae, while two extensions of the carapace mimic the head and abdomen. It's not a good disguise, but ants don't have good eyesight and use mostly smell to communicate so it's still good enough.
At the time I did not realize that true crabs did not live on Serina, although who knows, maybe some hermit crab-descended crabs underwent such a degree of carcinization that they started walking sideways too.
