The mantis shrimp (シャコ, Shako) is a type of deep sea creature only found in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. This game marks the first appearance of mantis shrimp.

Donating to the museum

In New Leaf

Upon donating a mantis shrimp to the Museum, it can be found in the large pool in the first room of the ocean exhibit, along with many other species of deep sea creatures. It is found in the corner near the big rock close to the entrance of the large saltwater exhibit. The exhibit has this to say about the mantis shrimp:

"Mantis shrimps have long, sickle-shaped legs and thick carapaces covering both their bodies and tails. They strike captured prey with claws powerful enough to crack the shells of even the toughest crabs. They are a popular dish with fans of seafood, though females with eggs are worth more than males."
