Real-world information[edit]
The 'mitten crab', also known as the 'Chinese mitten crab' or 'Shanghai crab' is a burrowing crab originating in Asia. On its claws are dense bristles that give it the appearance of wearing "mittens." This crab is also an invasive species in the U.S. and Europe, due to illegal transport and the crab's ability to survive in adverse conditions such as swimming pools. The 'mitten crab' is also a delicacy in Shanghai during the fall season, and it can now even be found in vending machines in China.
