Coconut crab. I saw a few of them in the Philippines. When they are hungry and smell food, those things beeline. I called them Invid when I was station in Manila.
My friend says they hang out around trashcans and dumpsters. The garbage men are instructed on how to remove them from trash cans before dumping out the trash.
Well I think all crab is edible, but whether it tastes good or not depends on what -it- eats. If these things feed on garbage, no it will not taste good at all. But I think if you raised them in captivity and fed them only coconuts and some kind of side dish to keep them healthy, they might taste great.
@...sylvanish: lobsters pretty much eat garbage and dead shit off the bottom of the ocean and they are delicious so i don’t think your reasoning is sound…
@...tikikekekekedrunk: Is that true? I’m not sure if it really is, they eat little fish and critters. I think if there are lobsters reduced to eating garbage, those are the stunted throw away ones that don’t taste anywhere as good as the big healthy ones. But I don’t really like lobster any way, so whateves
Coconut crabs only eat stinky old coconuts yet they taste like sweetend young coconut. The tail meat resembles scrambled eggs and is preferred over hot rice. They do get very large and have the temperment of a Pitbull.
“How much for the little girls…”
Alright billy, lets just throw the rope up over this branch here and.. wha…. WHAT THE FUCK IS THA…THAT THING?

I think one of those killed me in wow once.
Harpoons!! Harpoons!! Where’s the fukin’ harpoons?!?
Don’t use bullets on it ! They only make it angry !
@...Messatsunokami: Are they even edible?
Looks like some kind of crotch cricket you’d get off a Chernobyl prostitute.
Fuck fire, kill it with a mace!
@Marrock
Well, hopefully they don’t serve THIS at Long John Silvers, and second, man I think the beaver YOU’RE buying ain’t edible lmao

the coconut crab is actually an endangered species because it’s considered a delicasy.
Fuck the harpoons, use the moon!
@...hufnmouth: Aren’t they slow as fuck?
@...colonel-yum-yum: lol
@...HoChunk: When they aren’t hungry, yes. I’m not talking substantial mph though. They move as fast as hermit crabs.
@...hufnmouth: Yeah, but they’re like, 20 times the size…
::shiver::

I agree, seems very yummy!
I for one welcome our crustacean overlords.

When those claws grab you, the only way to get it to let loose is to tickle it’s tummy. The psi is enough to break fingers and steel cage.
Part of me wants one of these as a pet.
@...wedgemonkey:
Me, too, kind of.
@...etiii:
Just curious, have you ever seen one attack?
I’ve felt the claw… We do keep them as pets until they get this size for boiling. Not easy to build the cage, they’ll find a way to get out.
Does it tast good?
Tickle its tummy? HAHA
