You could run Doom on 16 billion crabs

Someone figured out how to make logic gates based on crabs, so running Doom on crabs is now only a matter of time (and crabs)

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

These crabs hide under rocks, and can be used to make dishes with special effects, boosting stamina, defence, and damage respectively.

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.

These fellows kind of hold a special place to me. They were originally an exclusive item to my favorite character in the game, and were the original crab that inspired me to make this blog. Thank you Solar Crab, sorry I've killed and eaten you more than any other video game crab.

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

Everyone's favorite shape shifting half genie got a new form in her most recent game, crab Shantae! One of her more basic forms, it only serves to let her sink in water and go through small gaps, but regardless crab Shantae exists and we have that to be thankful for.

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

These little salt water guys come from a game I haven't played too much. They are the cutest though! My base is just close enough that I can see them but just disorganized enough that I can't reach them. I yearn for nothing but this as a pet.

Reblog With Your Favorite Thing About Crabs

I’ll go first- our exoskeletons! We’re so tough and strong on the outside but soft and nice on the inside. How could you hate that? :)

How fast a crab can go!

Having one big claw to show off with, but also a smaller, more dexterous one for more delicate tasks and eating bits of trash

What great enemies and creatures crabs make in video games!

[crabsingames]

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!!!!
