While initially absent from {{NH}}, the horseshoe crab was added in the 1.3.0 [[Animal Crossing: New Horizons/Update history|Free Summer Update]] in July 2020, where it appears from 9 PM to 4 AM as a medium-sized, medium-speed shadow from mid [[summer]] to early [[fall]]. It, the [[firefly squid]], and the [[spiny lobster]] are the only three sea creatures to appear exclusively during the 9 PM to 4 AM timeframe.

{{Blathers|NL|Horseshoe crabs are called "living fossils," as they have not evolved since the age of the dinosaurs. Their back are covered by a hard shell, forming a simple silhouette with their flat backs and long tails. Though referred to as crabs, they're actually more closely related to spiders and scorpions.}}

{{Blathers|NH|Some might say it's good luck to catch a '''horseshoe crab'''. But I am NOT among them, eh wot! Though called a "crab," this beast is an arthropod and thus more akin to spiders and scorpions! Its long tail resembles a scorpion stinger, in fact! Though it's quite harmless, they say. A "living fossil," the '''horseshoe crab''' has been around since before the dinosaurs. With that tank-like shell,<small> I suppose it WOULD be the one to survive.</small> but what truly rattles me to the beak... During breeding season, '''horseshoe crabs''' crawl up on the beach and make nests together in the hundreds. HUNDREDS OF '''HORSESHOE CRABS'''!<small> And with that I can say no more </small>.}}
