The crab was a proposed mob featured in the Mob Vote during Minecraft Live 2023, alongside the armadillo and penguin.[1] It would have spawned in mangrove swamps, and had a large arm that it could lose, dropping a crab claw. The crab claw could be used to place blocks from further away. Crabs could be bred with kelp. Crabs occasionally waved at players and other crabs.[2]
The crab lost the vote with only 32.5% of the votes.

Trivia
- Crabs resemble fiddler crabs, known for the males having one claw much larger than the other.

The descriptions of Mob Vote 2023 in Minecraft China Edition are a little different, I translated them!
