Krabby resembles the creature they are based on, the crab. Krabby's top half is a hard shell that is orange in color. Krabby has a pair of large pincers that it uses as powerful weapons. Krabby's pincers are also used for balance when it walks sideways.
If a Krabby loses a pincer in battle, it will completely grow back in a short period of time.
On beaches where food is hard to come by, Krabby can be seen squabbling with each other over territory. When Krabby sense imminent danger, they will cloak themselves with bubbles from its mouth in an attempt at looking bigger, and more intimidating.
Krabby live on beaches, burrowed inside holes dug into the sand.
Krabby are known as scavengers, and feed on whatever debris they happen upon in their environment. If food is too scarce, Krabby will also eats mouthfuls of sand to obtain nutrients.
It is based upon a crab.
Krabby's name is a misspelling of "crabby," which means grouchy or ill-tempered.
