    Name: Purgatorian Gun Crab.

    Description: The Purgatorian Gun Crab is the name given to an artificial sub-species of crustaceans created on Purgatory Majoris, originally as a joke by Senators Terrence Vimes and Calcium Carlson. Nearly any type of Earthly Crab can undergo the training and modification needed to qualify, however the most common species are Hermit Crabs(Favored for their natural instinct to swap shells, making it easy to put ballistic vests on them), Coconut Crabs(Favored for their size, allowing them to use heavier weapons), and Spider Crabs(Favored for scare factor.) Some are given prosthetic claws with in-built weaponry.

    Behavior: The Purgatorian Gun Crab is extremely susceptible to training early in its life, and will easily take on new habits depending on what its owner wants if input within the first month of existence. However, if left to their own devices, they become territorial and greedy creatures, hoarding away as many weapons and bullets as they can find- Often engaging in turf wars with other wild Gun Crabs. They are often found engaging in unhealthy habits, particularly common are drinking and smoking. They are noted to have the tactical intelligence of a trained soldier, knowing the basics of firearm safety and even, at times, seen to repair or clean their arsenal.

    Tamability: It is easily tamed if met within the first few weeks of its life, however if not given any real order it will quickly flake off an owner. They care not for affection, and the best way to tame one is with a proper, Full Metal Jacket style lecture.

    Where is it found?: They are extremely rare anywhere outside of Purgatory Majoris and the Undercrypt. They are, however, particularly common around the Djarus layer of the Undercrypt.

    Rarity: Mildly uncommon- Encountered about as often as a bear.

    Diet/Method of gaining nutrients and energy: Typical diet for its species, however most are capable of eating other crabs and often will- Whether or not they engaged in this behavior prior to modification.

    Products?: Any ‘loot’ they have with them, their shell, and their meat.

    Reproduction: Standard reproduction for their species, however their territorial nature makes it so that very few of them ever let a potential mate live long enough to produce offspring.

    Size: As before- typical for its species of crab.

    Weight: Typical for crab species, sometimes heavier if given any sort of prosthetic.

    Lifespan: Typical for its species of crab, however this is often hindered if they smoke or drink.

    Abilities:

    -Understanding of basic tactics, and ability to learn from fights or training.
    -It’s a crab with a gun.

    Flaws:

    -Engages in self-destructive habits(Cigars, vodka, etc.)
    -It’s a crab with a gun.


    Other: There is an Undercrypt Variant for outside of Djarus, which uses crossbows and flintlocks.
