Hermit Crab Swarm
When hermit crabs find a shell that's too large, they lie in wait for others to arrive and move into the shell, abandoning a possible replacement. This can form a large chain of queuing crabs waiting to upgrade their shells. Interruptions can aggravate the crabs, resulting in attacks against the unfortunate source of disruption.Recall Knowledge - Animal (Nature): DC 19

Crab
Source Monster Core 2 pg. 77Crabs are scavenging crustaceans known for their hard shells and iconic sideways gait. When confronted with threats from outside their species, most crabs prefer to flee, but when retreat isn't possible, they clamp on to their foes as tightly as they can.
Crab Species
Crabs can be found along all the world’s coastlines, ranging from relatively small creatures like the king crab or coconut crab to truly oversized monsters like the great reef crab, shark-eating crab, or lumbering shipwrecker crab.
