History
History[]
Background[]
In the past, someone bestowed upon the crab monster a mystical tooth, endowing it with extraordinary abilities and transforming it into a colossal entity. Utilizing the control crown, the crab monster exerted dominance over the ocean gang compelling them to seize control of the algae farmers' village, facilitating the crab monster's insatiable appetite for consuming all the algae within the vicinity.
Gangs of the Sea[]
While enroute to the Mother Garden, Lloyd and Arin arrived at the village, seeking help to repair their ship, which had sustained damage. However they were almost immediately attacked by the Crab Monster, who through its connection to the control crown, ordered the ocean gang to sink the ship and to "destroy the interlopers." During the brief skirmish, Lloyd fired at the Crab Monster with the Bounty's cannons, causing the beast to release its hold and scurry back beneath the water's surface.
It would later resurface some time later, when the two ninja returned in the evening hours with the exiled villagers to reclaim the village from the ocean gang. The creature attempted to fight the interlopers with beams of energy from its mystical tooth and snapped off parts of the surrounding buildings as a show of force. After Lloyd removed the control crown from the Ocean gang leader, the Merlopians were freed from its control and turned against it, siding with the villagers to fight against the creature. The struggle ultimately ended after Lloyd struck the central tooth, dislodging it and causing it to sink into the sea. With the source of its power gone, the crab monster shrank back to its original size and fled back into the ocean.
