Crab

A sink crab from Bestine IV.

A crab was a type of arthropod crustacean caracterized by its great pincers, carapace, and characteristic six-legged movement similar to the Sauvax's.

Known crabs include the sink-crab of Bestine IV, the hitcher crab from Sevarcos II, and the vonduun crab used by the Yuuzhan Vong. The LM-432 droid was nicknamed the "crab" droid because of its similar shape.

Live crabs were an ingredient of crab-stuffed creampuffs, a Mon Calamari delicacy.
