―Tech and Hunter^[1]

Aggrocrab was a species that lived in the jungle, beaches, and waters of the tropical planet Aynaboni. They had a blaster-resistant shell covered in spikes and large pincers. Many of them were encountered by Clone Force 99 during a mission to acquire a large crate.

CrabsAttackOmega — The crabs had large pincers that they used to protect their underside.

The non-sentient species^[1] of giant crabs inhabited the jungle,^[2] beaches, and nearby waters of an island on^[1] Aynaboni.^[3] The crabs had a red and orange^[1] shell^[2] covered in blue, triangular spikes and large, purple pincers edged with similar spikes, two eyes, two antenna, six legs, and a mouth consisting of three flaps. The crabs had green blood. They could be killed by being shot in the underside with a Zygerrian energy bow. The crabs' shell and pincers could resist blaster fire, so the crabs would cover their underside with their pincers. They were capable of damaging the^[1] modified Omicron-class attack shuttle,^[4] the Marauder.^[1]

Behavior[]

The crabs slept in a pod and would collectively chase anyone who woke them. They could be very aggressive and would often roar.^[1]

History[]

"I thought the beach was gonna be relaxing."

―Wrecker to Clone Force 99 after they escaped from the crabs^[1]

CrabsSwarmBadbatch — Several crabs swarming around Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo

Between 19 BBY and 18 BBY,^[5] Clone Force 99 members "Hunter," "Wrecker," and "Echo" acquired a large crate from the jungle during a heist. However, a large pod of^[1] Aggrocrabs^[6] was awoken by Wrecker. Six of the crabs then chased the clones to the beach while snapping their pincers. While Hunter blasted a crab, he requested firepower and a pickup from "Tech" in the Marauder. Meanwhile, three crabs landed on the ship and attacked it with their pincers, and another crab grabbed the ship's^[1] fishing line.^[2] Omega, the groups's youngest member, jumped off two crabs and shot the crabs off the Marauder with her energy bow before shooting the crabs on the ground. While running to the ship, Omega shot a crab and jumped off its shell to reach the fishing line, and she continued shooting the crabs. The Marauder arrived at Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo's location and blasted the crabs while Omega provided cover fire. The three clones kept shooting the crabs while being pulled onto the ship via the fishing line. The Marauder then flew away from the island.^[1]
