Okay, so if you want to swallow egg whole, would you rather be a snake to have that ability, or be sand bubbler crab and make little sand bubbles?

Okay give me a random crab fact
The sand bubbler crab might look like it eats sand when it literally takes sand up to it's mouth, but what they are actually doing is mixing it with water and filtering it for the small organisms in the sand that they eat
This results in these little cute sand balls that fill some beaches
They also usually live in holes they dig that are surrounded with these balls that is also fitted out with a driveway

Have you seen the coconut crab? It's a type of massive crab that I believe got it's name from it crushing coconuts with its pinchers, they are enormous and walk around on land and in neighborhoods of people
It makes me think of haboobs crab population and if they get to that size or larger
yes! i've seen those, they are so fucky <3 that one picture with a coconut on a trashbin, right?? dear gods... aren't they also the ones people speculate ate Amelia Earhart.. but also didn't know that name fact, that's fun! did know they can break a man's arm which is just. fuck. nature really Can be just like that, huh
awgh Haboob's crabs,,,
those stay small, usually! they are based off of the sand bubbler crabs, look him face
they are native to where Fish lives and Haboob asked him for a genome sample or whatevs so she could make her own. they live strictly Inside her structure and their job is to crawl around and make those sand balls that would be easier to clean out for Haboob's mechanications. poor girl is full of sand- it's where it has no business being and it's very uncomfortable for her, so the crabs were her solution
her pet crab Bub grew bigger than all the others for some reason and when she spotted him with her overseers during a clean up she decided to move him from cleaning duty to lap dog duty. after of course a talk with Euros and Fish on what should she do with the lil guy

ANTLION, SANDSTAG & MYRMECOLEO I bundle together here because the first two are basically identical, and MYRMECOLEO seems like it's just a weird lost part of the SANDSTAG line. Myrmecoleon is both the scientific name for the actual Ant Lion insect, but also the name of the mythic creature, aka ANTLION, from old medieval bestiaries. (I feel like it's super backwards that the original WA design was by far the coolest, WA2 was kinda goofy but accurate to the old bestiary illustrations, but then the later model is just kinda meh?)
SANDCRAB, originally called SAND SCISSORS in Japanese, I'm throwing in here because it's become kind of a companion monster to SAND STAG. And it's the central pillar of a different monster family.
HERMITCRAB & HAMMERTAIL are the other two uses of the original WA1 model, neither of which survive into the rest of the series, so they get to band together here. Funny enough HAMMERTAIL is the name of a D&D monster, basically just an Ankylosaurus, introduced as part of the Eberron setting... but that was introduced in 2004, well after the original WA. (Weirdly the HERMITCRAB never came back in WA2 as a recolor of the OANNES enemy, but we'll get to those later...)
ROCKBUSTER doesn't appear to take its name from anything in particular. (Maybe referencing a Beast Wars transformer with the same name? But he debuted as part of the Beast Wars Neo series, which came out the same year as Wild Arms 2, so I feel like there wasn't time for it to come out first and then still make it into the game in time for release. Is there some kind of Japanese thing about rock busting crabs I'm just not aware of???)
SCORPIUS is a funky little link in the tree. Originally a WA3 recolor of the SANDSCISSORS and ROCKBUSTER, it vanished for a few games and then came back as a totally different arthropod. It feels weird that it becomes a flying insect and not a scorpion but ti could be a play on the SCORPIUS constellation making it "in the sky"?
VESPER, which I'm pretty sure was just meant to be VESPA, as in "wasp", is just a recolor of the SCORPIUS in WA4 and 5. (On the one hand I think it being a big wasp/hornet is sufficient enough, but there is also technically a VESPA constellation; it was an alternate name of the Apis:"bee" or Musca:"fly" constellation which kind of neatly aligns it with SCORPIUS' shtick.)
but notably, even though SCORPIUS in WA4 is where these two trees cross over, this model actually started back in WA3 with GARBUG, another classic D&D monster that has probably fallen pretty thoroughly by the wayside over the years. Understandably large bugs just don't have quite the same sticking power as Goblins and Kobolds, or Dragons and Gelatinous Cubes. (There's also the CHIMERA WING, just another of several elemental CHIMERA mosnters in WA3.)
CRAB BUBBLER blowing bubbles is just a thing crabs do, it shares a model with the enemy GIANT CRAB in WA2, which is also just a thing some crabs are. In fact the GIANT CRAB is actually called RAID SCISSORS in Japanese, although I don't know that that's any sort of reference either.
GRODINE. Fascinatingly, this is the source of what would become the enduring crab enemy design, totally unrelated to the preexisting crab enemies when first introduced in WA2 as a random boss type monster. It appears to be based on a series of "(Flying)Saucer Organism" toys, specifically one named BLACK DOME.
DEATHMASK being a big crab enemy is a reference to the villain, Cancer Deathmask, from Saint Seiya.
