There are flying sand crabs, hermit crabs that don't pay rent, coconut crabs that can climb trees, and high-legged crabs that support their bodies on the bottom of the sea with long legs more than one meter long. Among the numerous sea crabs, the strangest and most legendary one is the Guan Yu crab.

Its carapace width is only about 3 cm, the distance between the back and abdomen is very small, almost no thickness, so the crab body is particularly thin. Because the grooves on its back armor resemble the facial features of Guan Gong, a general of Shu State in ancient China during the Three Kingdoms Period-lying silkworm eyebrows and red phoenix eyes, it is called Guan Gong crab in China.

This small crab has four pairs of feet, and the last two pairs of feet are short and sharp, scissors shaped. Guan Yu crab can use these two pairs of short feet to grab shells, stones or leaves larger than his body and carry them on his back to disguise his body to defend himself from enemies.
