Clotster

Diet: Omnivore
Danger Level: Low
Social Ability: Low
Information: This crab-like creature developed an exoskeleton over its legs, leaving the bulk of its body skinless. The red coloring is oxygen-rich blood and exposed muscle. However, with the exception of the brain and digestive system, none of its internal organs are housed in it. Instead, this creature has developed several pairs of organs found in each of its legs. Its mid-legs house a pair of hearts near the base, while its four lungs are kept in the forward legs. A loss of one leg will cripple this creature, but taking out a pair of legs will kill it. Most predators of this creature don’t bother with the legs, since a well-placed body blow can kill this creature in a single hit anyways.
