The Smashin' crab is a monster in Dragon Quest VII.

Characteristics

Smashin' crabs are anthropomorphic crustacean monsters with six limbs, one of which is a large claw. Their main body is a dark orange, with a light soft orange underbelly, beady black eye stalks, and an odd, blue face in the center. They walk about wearing lime green boots on their four feet, scuttling across the battle field to strike, with one tiny limp lime green glove on their left hand. Their name is spoken phonetically similar to the phrase "smash and grab".
