Have you ever seen one of these critters at the beach? Also known as “sand crabs” or “sand fleas,” Pacific mole crabs (Emerita analoga) can be found across the western coasts of North and South America. East Coast residents might encounter their relatives, the Atlantic sand crabs (Emerita talpoida), during summertime beach trips. Mole crabs migrate with the tides, keeping up with breaking waves to filter feed on plankton brought in by the crashing waters. These critters use their back legs to get around, and they burrow backwards, too.

The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening / The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
Three sand crabs can be found on the Toronbo Shores, to the east of Link's sword in the game's intro. Sand crabs can also be found in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, with their sprite in the GameBoy releases being reused in The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons. On the Switch remake, their model resembles it's appearance in The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds.
