LOBSTER (CLAWED)
Original Animal Characteristics
Description: Lobsters, or, more specifically, Clawed Lobsters (family Nephropidae) are a group of large decapod crustaceans. Unlike other decapods, lobster generally have poor vision due to the convex retina of their eyes. Their blood is
colors, developing a bluish tint when exposed to oxygen. Lobster are notable for molting, a process which occurs differently for each species, and throughout their life cycle. Coloration includes blue, blue-green, calico, dusty orange,
green-brown, grey, light yellow, red, yellow, and white. Spots or bi-coloration may also exist.
Size Level: Small Lobster - SL 1, Medium Lobster = SL 2, Large Lobster = SL 6
Height: Small Lobster are about 6 inches (15 cm) long, Medium Lobster are about 9 inches (23 cm) long, and Large Lobster can get up to 3 feet (1 m) long.
Weight: Small Lobster weigh about 1 lbs (500 g), Medium Lobster range from 1.5-2 lbs (600-2200 g), Large Lobster can get up to 44.4 lbs (20.14 kg).
Build: Medium

Looks: None; Decapod crustaceans, particularly lobster are notable for having 19 body segments grouped into two main body parts. The Cephalothorax contains the head (consisting of antennules, antennae, mandibles, and two sets of
maxillae, along with two, usually stalked, compound eyes) and the Thorax or Pereon (consisting of three sets of maxillipeds - modified mouth parts, and five sets of pereiopods - walking legs, of which the first set is often referred to as a
cheliped, as they have chelae (claws). The Abdomen or Pleon contains the rest of the body, including five pairs of pleopods (swimmerets or swimming legs) and a tail fan which contains a pair of uropods (steering legs), anus and the telson (a
segement which acts as a caudal fin).
10 BIO-E for Partial; The pleon shrinks and becomes more tail-like while the rest of the body retains a centauroid appearance (multiple legs), with claws instead of regular hands, a hard carapace, stalked eyes, and manible-style mouth.
20 BIO-E for Full; Yeah, pretty much looks like Zoidberg of Futurama. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cd/Doctor_Zoidberg.png/250px-Doctor_Zoidberg.png
