Mother flippen treasure crab!!!

[Irishmile]

So I wanted to rewatch the last scene after the credits in chapter 5.... but I realized I didn't have a saved game so I did a youtube search... while watching the credits I noticed something I didn't before.. Treasure Crab is in the credits and he brought friends with him.... How awesome is that?

I demand you all give treasure crab more love and acknowledge his importance...

Oh yes!

[Irishmile]

I think Treasure Crab should be TTG's official mascot and appear in every game from now on.

[coolsome]

damn straight!

[Irishmile]

But not in an obvious way... always in the background of a shot "Acquiring" money, loot, or other bric a brac .... it should almost be fast and blurry like if bigfoot was a ninja..

[Fealiks]

I'm looking forward to TTG's next game: The Adventures of Treasure Crab 1: Treasure Crab Steals Some Stuff

[Spadge]

I told you, treasure crab is an agent for the prawnfolk. >_>

[Nosehair]

Crab people -- talk like people, taste like crab.

[Mermaid]

Oh, he's got a name? I thought that was the voodoo lady in disguise (first appearance on a rock behind Guybrush's back in EP2 when talking to Anemone, last appearance as a school of crabs in EP5).

[Spadge]

You just blew my mind with this Voodo Lady thing.

[Mermaid]

You just blew my mind with this Voodo Lady thing.

It could make sense though, couldn't it? And mind you: The last we saw of Murray is when he gets trapped in that treasure chest (possibly with the crab in it, too). What if Murray is another "piece" of the Voodoo Lady's next plans ("a piece" as in Guybrush's hand or the essence of LeChuck he had on her desk at the end of TMI)?

[Chyron8472]

I think it's just a crab. An awesome crab, but just a crab. And yes, TTG should put him into future games, at least future Monkey Island games.

[Scrawffler]

Treasure Crab: the greatest reappearing special guest since Chuck the Plant.

I'm hoping we at least see it again in any future seasons of TOMI. Would be cool if it came up in other Telltale games too. They might be able to throw him into the next Sam and Max games, perhaps wandering around in the street with the rats or something.

[The Highway]

Umm, don't kill me but... who is the Treasure Crab?

[doodinthemood]

Treasure Crab is the rather random crab that seemed to appear near treasure in TMI.

[Leak]

Fat lot of good it does them if Insanity Prawn Boy (http://www.weebls-stuff.com/onthemoon/On+The+Moon+ep.16/) is any indication for their kind... :D

np: Contriva - Auf'm Land (8 Eyes ('96 - '99))

[Symbermine]

Yeah! Treasure crab is awesome

[Griswald Goodsoup]

Wouldn't that supersede Murray position as a reappearing character/object?

[Irishmile]

I stand by my belief that Murray and Treasure Crab are destined to become a duo.....

[Irishmile]

Oh man SPOILERS!! LOL

[Avistew]

And yes, TTG should put him into future games

Obviously, you two are closer than I thought for you to know these kinds of details :p

[Chyron8472]

Dang it. No one was supposed to find out about that.

[Irishmile]

Ok people who still have game saves can you post screen caps of all of treasure crabs appearances in the game?

[Spadge]

I recall treasure crabs tried to steal Jack Sparrow's ship once.

[Dadel]

Got these easy-to-find ones from Youtube.

Third one is probably the best one ever...

[Remolay]

how exactly is the first one a treasure crab? it is just on a rock

[doodinthemood]

You can tell from his body language - he's after treasure.

[Laserschwert]

Would you think a baker is only a baker when he bakes? No, he's always a baker. Baking or not. Same with the treasure crab.

[guitarsareboring]

Awww I can't believe I didn't notice him before.

[Irishmile]

He is clearly just in the planning stages there.

[etellerannet7]

That Hardtack pic is seriously one of the best moments from Tales.

[Fealiks]

I wonder what the treasure crab plans on doing with all that treasure.

[Leak]

What every other megalomaniac crustacean would do in it's place - take over the world!

[Irishmile]

I imagine give it to Mrs. Treasure Crab.

But, nah. He never really got any treasures, only the chests...and Murray.
Maybe he just needs something to carry all the treasure he plans to dig up in the spirit world?

[Irishmile]

Oh he gets treasure.... if you go by the drawing in the credits of ep5

Yeah, he definitely strikes me as the kind of Crab who's getting treasure for his girlfriend Crab. What a guy.


Also, to anybody thinking that I'm making an assumption when I call treasure crab male: you can always tell the sex of a crab by its size. Female crabs are typically ten times the size of male humans.

[Irishmile]

that's a huge crab.... Also the crabs that the voodoo lady use to communicate with Guybrush are clearly not the same crabs... for one wouldn't they be dead crabs being in the crossroads

[Irishmile]

Sorry for the double post but I think T.C. should be hidden somewhere on this page

Hey NO GLOATING!

No offence Irish but how on earth did you miss that first time round? It's like, right there in the stars. He's holding a lightsaber.

Treasure Crab?

Treasure crabs first acting roll in Indiana Jones?

[Thriftweed Fancy Pants]

Is he inside of the bag? Plotting how to steal the treasure from Jones no doubt.

[doodinthemood]

No, he's there on the right.

[Fealiks]

I'm pretty sure he was in Gone with the Wind before that.

Treasure Crab?
I was wondering how long it would be until someone made that connection. :D

Do I get any treasure?

[Irishmile]

I randomly found a buffalo Indian head nickel today.... TC would be proud.

[hplikelike]

Oh come on! The Stalking Seagull could totally kick the Treasure Crab's sorry little... um... exoskeleton! Remember that scene from Finding Nemo?

[Irishmile]

Nope

[meander]

Treasure Crab is quite like Guybrush really... picking up so much stuff. Of course Treasure Crab only picks up stuff that is actually valuable... and the only times Guybrush has managed that he has ended up thrown off Melee pier or dangled from his ankles from Woodtick Bridge... perhaps he needs a lesson in stealth from TC?

[Dadel]

Shame that he didn't got his claws on la Esponja Grande before Guybrush :(

I will paypal $1 to anyone on the TTG team that puts treasure crab into SM3

Yes.

(He wouldn't tell Dory and Nemo where Marlin had gone.)

[hplikelike]

Chyron8472, I feel that I should reward you for finding a picture of my idea which I was too lazy to do.

...But all I've got are some props, or some brownie points. Take your pick.

[Chyron8472]

Or I could add a small percentage to my awesome. :)

[Fealiks]

Odd, I always thought it was 12.73857365285967846%.

Must have made an error in my calculations. Stupid spring break zapping all mah math n' gramR away...

[Chyron8472]

So, if Treasure Crab could talk, would he say "Heeey, heeey..." just like the Aussie crabs in Finding Nemo?

Neh, I sort of see him as the strong silent type that rarely speaks but when he does it's in a deep voice that says something groundbreaking in a few words.

Got that Telltale? My expectations are higher then you could ever achieve. Have fun with the sequel!

[Kitmit13]

that scene always makes me think of MI3 where all those items unaware guybrush wants in the intro just drift past him XD

[Irishmile]

I adore the cut-scenes from that game.

[tredlow]

it should almost be fast and blurry like if bigfoot was a ninja..

'If'?

[Irishmile]

Treasure crab is talked about in the audio commentary as well as on the back of the DVD case.... EXCELLENT!!!

[alexonfyre]

Next S&M ep:
"Do you feel safe leaving the car around those guys Sam?"
*points to crabs"
"Your inexplicable racism cracks me up little buddy"
*Come back later*
"My god, the DeSoto's up on Cinder Blocks!"

[Irishmile]

LOL.... that would actually be pretty funny....

[mlrockrules]

fast and blurry like if bigfoot was a ninja..

Great analogy Irish!

[Irishmile]

GASP!!!! TC doesn't have a miWIKI page!?!

[alexonfyre]

Is it possible...
Treasure Crab is CITIZEN SNIIIIPS!!!!!! (http://www.citizen-snips.com/)

[Irishmile]

My wife and I took the kids to the aquatic center in Bloomer WI.... guess who was there too?
My son pointed it out.... he was like "Whoa dad look its Treasure Crab"

[Irishmile]

he looks angry..... must be a really hard lock to pick.
