Origin
Its bristles turned into living “garden beds” for the bacteria the crab feeds on near deep-sea vents.
Appearance
A wide cream crab with two huge claws with a true V-notch, two golden stripes on each claw and four thick legs.

Evolution
Line E-22: Hydrothermal Claws
Blindclaw → Yeticlaw
Condition: colonizing a hydrothermal vent zone.
The long sensory limbs grow shorter and stronger, and dense bristles appear on the claws, where chemosynthetic bacteria are cultivated. Searching for scarce food gives way to its own “farming.”
