An aquatic breed of Zuum with a segmented tail, large pincers on its hands and a thick shell that allows it to survive the pressures of deep water. It is known for its high life and defense stats, as well as its sharp, harpoon-like tail.
Its name was later abbreviated to Crab Zuum because of the character limit in the Advance games.
Etymology[]
Its name comes from its crustacean-like appearance, and the word sauros, which means "lizard" in Greek. Many dinosaurs have the prefix -saurus after their names for this reason.
Its Japanese name, Kuraburannā, comes from the Japanese words for "crab" (kurabu) and "runner" (rannā).
