Sonic The Hedgehog

Open Eyes

Crabmeat is a recurring Badnik enemy in the Sonic the Hedgehog series. It first appeared in the original Sonic the Hedgehog game on the Sega Genesis.

Functionally, Crabmeat is a robotic crab-like creature designed and deployed by Dr. Ivo "Eggman" Robotnik as part of his robotic army. Its primary function is to patrol areas and attack intruders, specifically Sonic the Hedgehog and his allies.

Crabmeat's typical attack pattern involves scuttling sideways or forwards, often attempting to pinch or otherwise injure Sonic. It is generally a relatively weak enemy, easily defeated with a simple jump attack.

While not a major character, Crabmeat is a recognizable and iconic enemy within the Sonic franchise, representing Dr. Eggman's typical use of animal-inspired robots for his nefarious schemes. Variations of Crabmeat have appeared in later Sonic titles.
